Where is the steering airbag located?. .. Please don't tell me it's right there behind that steering screen because its purpose will be defeated if so

Imagine a collision happening and the airbag deploying only to be punctured by pieces of that steering screen's glass, in addition to the windscreen, 50 inch screen all being shattered .....

In fact both steering and dashboard airbags will be rendered useless, in addition to far more shards of glass being released into the vehicle thus putting the driver and passenger in far more danger than they would normally have been in if all this plenty screen stuff had been avoided


I will choose safety before convenience and effizy any day


So for now, a simple traditional Mercedes Benz AMG will do for me

You should be able to observe from the pictures that the 50 inch screen is recessed so the airbags must be in front of the screen within the protruding dashboard

Look at your sense. Who told you that those screens are glass materials, so you don't know the technology that is invoke now, liquid kind of

Sellfish:


No arguing that the steering airbags are in direct danger of puncture... The airbags will have to pass through the steering screen while deploying... So your guess is as good as mine.

The dashboard is very flat... Meaning that any deploying airbag will most likely deploy upward first before filling out towards the passenger.... And that upward deploying position is right where that 50inch screen is..... Now I suppose you get my drift

The design is very cute on paper and in pictures, but very hazardous in real life situations

A typical Nigerian!

What do you really understand by the term "glass"? Can you differentiate it from transparent plastic?

Nasir123:

Have you not been reading many post about Fulani helmsmen lately?

Sellfish:


You are the chief differentiator Sir.... So please help me


And while at it, please tell me how both in such quantity in such positions do not compromise the vehicle's safety?

There is no law that says the airbag must be in the steering and also the material the airbags could be made out of could be reinforced material. Plus those screens you see may be made from Plexiglass and not regular glass. Plexiglass does not shatter as glass does so there will be no danger from flying shards of broken glass.

Regarding the dashboard I am also sure angles for deployment of airbags have been considered and in truth no serious car manufacturer would ignore such detail. I just solved your problem.

Newboss:
Just take that as your project work!

HINT: Those are screens. They crack, not shatter like the window you have in your house!

You definitely have a solid phone like Samsung S8+! Those screens in car gadgets are harder and more solid than the ones on those phones!

You sure heard of the glass bridge in China!

Glasses can be toughened and made virtually unbreakable except immense force is applied!

Have you heard of bulletproof glasses? That's not just the normal glass you know. They are called "glass" because of their transparency. But they are not "pure" glasses, so they don't shatter! YouTube is your friend!

There are so many techs invoke that you should have considered before typing what you typed there!

Oya, wee you go and delete it right now!

Sellfish:


No law that says the airbag should be on the steering? D..... So in case of a collision resulting in a engine shift which also results in a steering column shift towards the driver, how is he protected then?

The airbags could be made from reinforced material that will be puncture proof but somehow of zero risk to the Driver due to its reinforcements? .... What exactly is the safety quotient of such "reinforced" airbags?

Plexiglass as touchscreen .... Please show me proof that with current technology, plexiglass has the capacity and sensitivity to be used as touch screens

You are sure angles of deployment of airbags have been considered ..... Bros since you are the manufacturer, where is proof that such angles have been considered, implemented and sufficiently tested in real life situations?

Summary is...based on currently existing technology, that car and its plenty glass is a disaster wasting to happen....it's for the car manufacturer to prove otherwise

Final word of advice... ...Don't just be assuming stuff that hasn't been confirmed, tested and verified... Such baseless assumptions may end up costing you your life
.... You don't just go online and swallow everything you are told without asking questions.... Our reasoning capabilities are what differentiate us from lesser animals

Sellfish:


I stopped reading your essay immediately you mentioned the Samsung s8+ ... That shows You are obviously not worth my reply

Please look up and see the reply I gave someone else who was reasoning like you... Learn from it

A typical Nigerian takes it out of context because of low IQ, I guess

That was an analogy! Read it in context and set your foolishness aside!

Have a nice day!

You are actually the one assuming things. I am being logical because this is a seasoned car manufacturer and you are most definitely not. You cannot assume you know what they don't.

Technology keeps evolving and for your information, Plexiglass is already being used as a touch screen overlay. Learn to update your information and intellect. Asking archaic questions in this time and age of technology advancement is extremely annoying.

Sellfish:


You are still pulling assumptions out of thin air

Links to a video of a crash test will settle this once and for all... Pending then, continue assuming until one of ur assumptions kill you

Vehicle manufacturers have been known to manufacture and sell vehicles with various life threatening defects like malfunctioning seatbelts, doors, airbags, headlights, etc.... Till tomorrow, Major Vehicle manufacturers still recall vehicles with malfunctioning parts....

But you in your infinite wisdom, has decided to be the mouthpiece of this particular manafacturer and say that all is well with that vehicle without any proof whatsoever

Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis and many other car manufacturers have all had recall issues at one time or the other... So what's your point?

Byton has finally unveiled its first drivable prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas

ivili:
Looks good,but it's no different from all other SUV's.

My point is that you obviously know nothing about technological advancements if you did not know that plexiglass is currently being used as touch screen overlays but just kept mouthing off about how it's not possible. If ordinary windshields today now use lamination technology to prevent them from shattering on impact why would you assume that such a technology has been at a standstill? This is why I said technology has been evolving greatly.

My point is also is that today each car manufacturer tries to add something special to their vehicles. Before we had nothing like airbags but today we do. Tomorrow we may not have seat belts anymore but magnetic restraints or full body airbag cover that acts like a ballon that blows up right from the seat you are seating on thereby protecting you all round. You should stop thinking archaic.

Lastly, you asked for a crash test that proves the vehicle is safe. This is from the OP



I am sure you know what the word prototype means. Just in case you don't, let me show you and cure your obvious ignorance and mental self abuse.

prototype
noun
a first or preliminary version of a device or vehicle from which other forms are developed.

This shows you that the vehicle is work in progress with more tweaks expected until final production is rolled out but basically based on aesthetics they have shown what to expect. They are saying that these aesthetics would not change even as they also consider safety which was why they mentioned some safety features like communicating with other vehicles or street lights. Communicating would other vehicles is a technology that would ensure the right distance is always maintained between vehicles to avoid a collision. Often this technology automatically activates the brakes when such distance is being compromised.

With this amount of tech put into this vehicle it is only proper to say that it would be semi automated with a probable option of full automation (I see this coming online especially with their focus on 5g data speed and the vehicle being able to communicate with vehicles in direct line of vision of the driver).

Learn to think 21st century and not 19th century.

Sweet

I never said plexiglass can never be used as touchscreen.... I just asked for one example... Just one

Plexiglass as touchscreen .... Please show me proof that with current technology, plexiglass has the capacity and sensitivity to be used as touch screens smiley

The rest of your epistle has failed to address the points I raised..all are just pipe dreams gathered from the internet or wherever

It's insufficient to measure the safety of a vehicle by assuming what other vehicles are equipped to do or what you hear it will be equipped to do through technology that has not been tested in real life situations.... Shalom
