Mercedes-Benz released a video of a real-world head-on collision between two of its electric cars, the EQA and the EQS. The video was released to address concerns about the safety of electric cars, which some people believe are more dangerous than gasoline-powered cars in the event of a collision.
The video shows the two cars colliding at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour (35 miles per hour). The cars are equipped with all of the standard safety features that are available on Mercedes-Benz electric cars, including airbags, crumple zones, and electronic stability control.
The video shows that the two cars sustained significant damage in the collision. The front ends of both cars were crumpled, and the hoods and fenders were torn off. However, the passenger compartments of both cars remained largely intact. The airbags deployed and protected the occupants of both cars.
The video concludes with a message from Mercedes-Benz that states that the company is committed to the safety of its customers. The company says that it conducts extensive crash testing on all of its vehicles, including electric cars.
