      The whole reason for T-tops was actually because of safety regulations. Convertibles were expected to be unable to pass new safety requirements for rollover protection, so the T-top was created to allow for a somewhat open-air experience while still keeping a protective structure over the cabin. Went away because later convertibles had strong enough windshield frames to provide necessary protection, and some have even gone with retractable roll bars that deploy if the computer detects the car is rolling over.

      Francisco Juan nono, I'm not talking about sports cars, I'm talking about sporty cars, kinda like the Corolla XRS or the Celica. cars that weren't true sports cars, but cars that you could have fun in. An upgraded Corolla would be fun, or as I was thinking, an upgraded, sporty Yaris (I'm a rally kinda guy, I just want an AWD Yaris). I know about supply and demand, but I believe that if car manufacturers made more sporty cars, they would sell pretty well

    Wait wait! Red pen here! lol "Active safety equipment" by definition is everything that PREVENTS YOU from crashing. "Passive safety equipment" is everything that, when a crash happens, mitigates damage and injury. So seatbelts and airbags are both passive safety systems. ESP, ASR, ABS etc are active safety features

    Hey Donut! Really interesting video! Love how you guys cover multiple aspects of car history, industry, science, trends, reviews, practical vs dream cars! Keep it awesome work! How about an a little instruction video on how to set-up the best seat position for safety and performance in your car? I see so many people driving sitting too low, too far back, reclined, feet on the dash (passengers), and sitting too close to steering wheel. Even hand position can reduce injuries in a crash. I think it could be a cool video, wish I could do it on my own but you guys can get the message out way better! Always wear you seatbelts, fo sho!

      Well, A part of what your asking is mentioned in the: "how cars went from boxy to curvy" video. It is a combination of depression, safety and styling. For example: If car manufacturers have to build cars like they did 40 years ago, they would go bankrupt. Robots, technologie, laws, styling and producing less greenhouse gas are the keywords in the car industry.

    My father worked in the automotive industry in the 80s and 90s. He tells me of how they wore hard hats when working on the airbags, just in case they went off, as they did not know if this was a possibility. Being a firefighter, he had watched two guys get launched out the sides of a car while trying to crush the center console, where the module is.

    Nader pretty much lied about the Corvair's terrible safety - and his statements were later proven false by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association who released a 134 page report that exonerated the Corvair of Nader's charges. The NHTSA would go on to say that "The 1960-63 Corvair compares favorably with contemporary vehicles used in the tests," and would later hire three outside testers that would come to the same conclusion.
