Tiger Woods in serious accident in a Genesis GV80

nyalpine90 · 02-25-2021, 01:58 PM

if it wouldve been sports/exotic car, this would have been a lot worse. Maybe fatal.

There corrected that for you

They couldn’t get the Model X to rollover in the testing and the first an only SUV to receive a perfect score in the rollover test.

Agreed to a certain extent.

Did those Tesla rollover tests only involve trying to roll the car on a flat surface? I suspect any vehicle is capable of rolling over when it hits a concrete curb at speed like Tiger's vehicle did.

Any car can jump a curb.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the “accident avoidance” technology in many new cars. I don’t know if the Genesis has it, although I suspect it does.

Our 2018 Volvo has it. The lane departure is annoying and the first few times it comes on it is easy to overreact to - because it feels like I’m rubbing a curb or whatever. Today driving down I-75 in the left lane, going around Knoxville, traffic came to an abrupt stop. 70mph to stop very quickly. I got on the brake with moderate pressure, enough to slow it quickly, and started to move to the left shoulder just in case. But the accident avoidance braking kicked in, slammed the brakes on, making the front tires skip, and scared the shit out of me.

Point being if anything caused those systems to activate, Tiger might have been startled, overreacted and crashed.

This might be the genesis of a few tasteless jokes.
To tee them up, I suppose even the best drivers can end up in the rough.
It seems obvious now that sponsors should reconsider providing courtesy cars; a good driver would be a better choice.
I certainly hope Tiger makes a full recovery, but wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a new handicap.

The NHTSA test is setup to resemble a vehicle hitting a curb and digging into a soft surface...

kscarrol · 02-26-2021, 07:42 AM

Yes, I saw that. Don't get me wrong the Tesla is superior in that regard but that is a highly controlled test at a relatively low speed. Do that test at 60mph instead of what appears to be 25-30mph in the video and the Tesla would roll over. Have Tiger behind the wheel going at a high rate of speed, no braking apparently and hit the curb as the car exits the road and I suspect even the Tesla would have rolled.

There were no pedestrians along that stretch of road, Mustang not even interested.

Well the test are what they are...starts at 35 mph and they keep testing up to 50 mph until it rolls over. The model X didn’t roll at the test of 50 mph. Apples to apples test, it didn’t rollover.

I agree any car, SUV, truck could rollover at excessive speeds, but the Model X has less of a chance given the test results.

kscarrol · 02-26-2021, 09:17 PM

Your last paragraph was my only point, have no complaints about the Tesla...

SOP? Really? Does that sheriff do that for every car accident?

yea, no. it is definitely not SOP. It's a single car crash with no property damage liability and no fatalities. Celebrity is involved, that's the only reason for doing this.

100% he does not, and I don't even know the guy.
