    I looked it up. 2022 IIHS crash tests showed the Tesla model 3 as being much safer in front impacts.

    Modern cars may make the engine fall in a crash, but it’s still better not to have that mass there in the first place. Having said that, the safety advantages of a frunk may be reduced if you have a bunch of heavy cargo in there.

        Maybe try reading what you try to use as a point against them?

        Interestingly, the study attributes the problems to the drivers not the cars.

        Its like the BMW drivers are dicks, not that the car isnt safe.

        AP accidents happen because idiots do things like keep the foot on the accelerator while fumbling their phone and trying to get it from the footwell or just dont pay attention. DONT BE THAT PERSON.

        Edit: to add, if you’re an idiot who already uses their phone while driving, I do believe that they are likely being even bigger idiots when they have something like AP, but these people were always using their phones while driving. It might even attract them to it and bring more idiots than usual to any specific brand.
