La pregunta es, Por qué EuroNCAP no realiza la prueba de solapamiento ( small overlap) ? y ya no digo la de la lado del conductor que eso ya es de sobresaliente como realiza la que es para mi la mejor organización en este tipo de análisis IIHS.
a casi el doble de velocidad que el ejemplo citado...
Y en este otro vídeo se detalla lo de las pruebas del lado del conductor y de como pillaron a muchos..desde el 2017 realizan las pruebas en ambos lados, ya me gustaría ver eso aquí con modelos comercializados.
No olvidemos que esto es un negocio que da mucho dinerito..
EDTO: me respondo a mi mismo. Mirar lo que dijo EuroNCAP en su página de Facebook oficial, pa cagarse...
A small overlap crash test in Europe? No, Euro NCAP does not plan to carry out this type of test in the immediate future.
The small overlap crash that the IIHS conducts is against a solid, fixed object. This is a severe test but actually not a very common crash type in Europe. Based on research and accident statistics, significantly more large overlap car-to-car occur than small overlap crashes on European roads. Euro NCAP has announced updated crash tests for 2015 and is planning more changes in the years to come based on crashes involving current European vehicles.
The immediate countermeasures introduced in the US fleet are additional structural elements to deflect the narrow impact. These countermeasures add extra weight to the vehicle which will increase fuel consumption and emissions. Small overlap crashes are often a result of unintended lane departures. To effectively avoid these types of crashes in the first place, Euro NCAP is promoting (and will soon require) technologies such as Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist and auto-braking for head-on traffic and road departures.
People should remember that safety ratings are adapted to each region and focus on what is important for local car buyers.
