Insane Volvo brake test epic fail

[genhalo2]

is because now volvo is owned by 0 euroncap chinese company

[ezesoyo123]

no tiene airbags pero si limpiaparabrisas automaticos

[blucobra5]

And you think they would make sure it is perfect before they let cameras around eeek

[essackam]

WOW, its so quiet, had i been there I would laugh my ass off!

[ALR350Z]

The system does not work at that speed. The car was going too fast.

[SweDrift1]

Gilla om du är Svensk !

[konstantinodinec]

Маленькая скорость...Надо побольше!!!

[SuperThe86]

What went wrong?

It's owned by Chinese

[yuzengkai]

@SuperThe86 you are no better than a chinese driver

[1AlexWagner]

Just goes to show, pay attention to the road and don't rely on your car to stop itself for you. Always keep your foot on standby for the brakes in case of an emergency. I think if more drivers did that, there'd be fewer speeding crashes. Too many people are just focusing on getting to where they have to go, so an unexpected curveball has them fumbling and panicking for the brakes, and that's how you get crashes!

[HYGROPYR]

hahahahahahahaha 

[STREETRACEN4U]

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NO AIRBAGS ON THAT THING EITHER? DOUBLE FAIL!

[AntonHiltoon]

@STREETRACEN4U At those speeds it is safer for the passenger if the airbag doesn't activate

[kangtajb]

akward...!...everyone was like should i pretend like im not seeing this la la la la...

[wildcat1559]

i never get sick of watching this.

[flurx01]

a little bit polish and it looks like new

[palminomelone87]

è cinese!!!!

[SikhGugz]

One thing which we can take from this video the windshirld wippers will still work after a crash

[1991Timmo]

thank god for that truck!!! or that car would never have stoppped in time

[Kogaion14]

somebody unmounted the brakes =))

[Taxminia0311]

and that's why volvo went bankrupt lolo cause if there shitty vehicle dumbasses

[Gjaeralaus]

@Taxminia0311

Since when has volvo gone bankrupt?

[elkbrew93]

@Gjaeralaus Ever since they have switch owners a billion times, Volvo is doing really bad, they ain't bankrupt tho, but close enough

[AntonHiltoon]

@elkbrew93 I wouldn't say a billion times..

[scarab1518]

The wiper test passed, they work even after a crash!!!!

[SteelCity1981]

The guy at the end was saying. Yep Ford is going to sell us to some China car company now. lol

[akh666666]

Translation:

Reporter: So what happened there?

Man: Epic fail, that's what the fuck happened

[VulcherHead]

Looks like the bloom is off of the Volvo rose?

[lotharzipo]

cmon wtf? everyone is laughing,yes I laughed too but you got to admit that this is a pretty good system and no one that is laughing probably doesn`t even know how this works...they just laught at other`s misfortune

[CosminRotaru]

now how big has to be a truck so that this volvo driver would see it?!

[shredorshred]

zehahahahahaha

[mauromak83]

and the air bag? where 's it?

[alec984]

i think that this stuff happened after the chines acquisition XD

[easezgin]

It seems they left the parking break on in the truck.

[dummybas]

you ve all got it wrong!

this is a test for automatic braking system on volvo truck!

amazing invention!

[SuperMrBentley]

Volvo-0 Truck-1

[wulfman1887]

Whahahaha! If i buy a new car i know what it wil be....NOT!....

[nanachan0718]

This car made in China.

[daradarbandy]

Drivers fault

[MrGool0038]

we don't know

yes u don't know lol

[picoale]

What went wrong?....We don't know! ahahaha EPIC

[ArtKbal1KING]

@picoale i think ... that the car have a proximity sensor or something like that ... think about it ... VOLVO ... it is one probability

[soulvoid89]

I don't think they guy has a job anymore..

[jakubkrcma]

I think the braking distance exceeded even the most optimistic expectations.

[cheetaih]

The wipers were working well!

[Rafaelsotero]

Nossa... o caminhão deslocou do lugar.

[carsancak]

seems solid like rock...

[LegoladGank]

Point was to stop the Volvo. Did it? Yes it did. Problem solved.

[vaiosxr]

where is airbag??

[cvm169]

@vaiosxr there is no air bag... but the windshield wipers work just fine!!

[ThePhiltastic]

@cvm169 i think the seat has a weight sensor that only launches the airbag if there's weight on it

[avalanchexy]

@ThePhiltastic ther's a 70 kg dummy on the driver seat

[cvm169]

@ThePhiltastic yeah i now that exists in the copilot seat, but not in the driver seat.

[jakubkrcma]

@vaiosxr Low speed... Although it definitely was VERY close to the deployment speed. I wouldn't want to sit in the car during this little funny test... Surely left quite some bruises from the safety belt. And a little loss of driver confidence... :-)

[lazzyboy98]

My Volvo has good ass brakes

[GamerAndReviewer]

5 stars!!! Oops, wrong test...

[cagednm69]

Ahh so this is when Volvo was rechristened to Lolvo?

[Batner112]

But at least the windshield wipers works, so its an plus so you can see what you killed :D

[macix12]

i think they failed with this test... didn't they?

[sorry09]

@macix12 maybe that's why it says fail in the title

.. use your head retard

[macix12]

@sorry09 ok kid, go to school, learn about sarcasm and come back.

[Phalanxtv1875]

It was an electrical fault, to be more precise: a defect in the battery, a warning sign was lit on the dashboard. That was not noticed because at the time of the test nobody was sitting in the car. Mercedes Benz had a similar problem as they crashed a S-Class in the fog chamber because nobody told the test-driver that the automatic emergency brake system was switched off.

[madmax2069]

whoops

[cyberboy233]

i hope it was a crash test dummy the airbag isnt go open :D

[AviatorF16Falcon]

I's just a matter of trial and error

[Michaelingolfhansen]

@AviatorF16Falcon

Yeah, but that work should be done before you want to show off to the press!

[dubbaren11]

it stoppped... :P

[SteWitch]

that had to hurt like some shit for whoever was driving it, they probs werent expecting that at all

[PouriaLDN]

No air bags? double fail?

[yamahaevo]

@PouriaLDN It only eject in higher speed to protect the driver

[EdwardSinclair]

Wait that car was only travelling at 35 km/h... and you are looking at least at a flattened radiator, among other things.... at least $5k worth of components and repairs. The engine is fine and the work to repair wouldn't take long... about a week.

[serhanogan]

First words that come out of the "maybe an executive guy" as a reply to the reporters "What happened?"(WTF?) question is; We don' t know.

This answer must have hurt Volvo more than the actual failure itself.

[Fudo94]

@serhanogan He said "i dont know" not "We here at Volvo have no idea and are completely incapable of fixing it".

[IgOrEcK24]

were the hell is the air bags?

[Fussinated]

And they talk about Toyota's ...

[chargersfan1111]

Haha at the windshield wiper

[Joshua5654]

lol really epic the air bag never even came out and that was kinda a bad crash

[SwiftHDX]

@Joshua5654 That wasn't a bad crash. The airbag only comes out when it's really necessary.

[boodoo76]

watching watching watching... boom! well now this is awkward...

[knezevic31]

Saab is dead and Volvo is the shit

[GDWGlos]

Donk!

[danschow7]

a mechanic just forgot to activate the system, thats why it didnt work

[Tapil]

Whats everyone's deal here? It worked perfectly the car came to a complete stop

[otokosith]

@Tapil jajajajajaja that´s the observation!!!! jajajajaja

[iampatpatt]

It braked after collision warning at high speed so that's why it crashed

[willezille]

''Volvo in Latis is ''I roll'' It's obvious that they can't make something that stops -.-

[skinnbone260]

trying to be like mercedes... lol

[001248426017]

DRIVER: i think that truck is also a volvo, so i will crash this and test if that truck will stop. and yes, it perfectly stopped. :)

[utkuish]

Good crash test

[Kcducttaper1]

Well, it worked. It stopped very nicely. ^_^

[ThaMythbuster]

"So we have some kind of mishap in the testing here".. ORLY! I thought that was supposed to happen! :O

[MrMattjones2011]

@ThaMythbuster haha i did to then i realized that it has this thing that makes it stop before it hits something and that failed horribly! hhaa

[dman090951]

pay attention to the driver haha

[Lukeentertainment]

Swedish people are so fucking embarrassing when they try to speak English, they all sound like Swedish chef from the Muppets!

[puertousbmonkey]

the truck's volvo elimination system worked fine

[ronfb1946]

I would have laughed my head off.

[bogdancubo]

maybe because the windows were tinted :)

[bogdancubo]

i didn't saw the airbag's pop out?

[byAudiQuattro]

@bogdancubo The airbag won't deploy at such low speed impacts. The force experienced by the driver from the crash was not huge enough, if the airbag deployed it would have harmed the driver instead.

[manah56]

still the safest car in the world

volvo for life :-)

[moley782]

volvo is swedish for i roll but...what is swedish for into lorries??lol

[Lukeentertainment]

@moley782 It's Latin you half wit!

[sneaeky]

what else is funny is the trucks under ride guard didn't work. Its a fact proven by the IIHS that the federal standards for under ride guards are too weak, and a 35 mph crash in the back of a 18 wheeler is fatal.

[cheapthinglover]

AHAHAHAHAHA i hateeeeeeee volvo!!

[NsOSnipSU]

Hehe.. They later realised that the tech guys hadnt turned the system on :S

Worked pretty well after they'd turned the on switch.

A real Family Guy moment for the Volvo ppl :D

[arnoldaszlt]

I Hate volvol

[OldTimeyJunk]

If it was an old Volvo, it would've plowed straight through that truck.

[trapecijus]

safiest car in the world without airbags?

[chigger123]

ahahhahahahahahahhahahahah

[gajustempus]

from driving through Sweden I can tell: This accident represents 100% of the swedish car construction and road construction skill.

[oilyear]

Insane indeed, WTF! air bag failed also.

[dadauhdduhahddsahdq]

apologize for that! 

[jenssdewalka]

@dadauhdduhahddsahdq yeah i wan to see them apologising when somebody crasher 4 real

[Css2life]

wow, it stops immediately when it hits a vehicle lol

[brivera98]

oh this car is very safe, this is the car that im gonna buy next....

[kynigh]

LOL If I buy a Volvo and it fails I hope his answers isn't "I don't know" to explain what went wrong.

[georgef551]

Are you sure they weren't testing Toyota Brakes? :)

[nanajoth]

If you need the car to brake for you, you need to not be driving.

[dragosmischianu]

@nanajoth With all the electromagnetic waves from wi-fi, cell phones, towers and all the mercury intake from air and fish that deposits well within the brain. Not to mention people not sleeping at night, but using computers and tablets or gaming.

Oh, well people will need cars to brake for them afterall. This is what they choose!

[LinnaeusRC]

Volvo , Chinese car :D

[NinjaMark84]

I'm surprised no one broke out laughing. Would've been freaking hilarious.

[iwannaplaycs]

This has already been explained previously... but they started the car and drove straight at the truck. However, the auto brake safety system only becomes engaged once the car has been driving around a bit. Specifically, it requires some steering input to have been made before the system becomes armed.

Volvo PR failure for not knowing the limitations of their own system.

[jeffw2294]

The irony in here is hilarious

[HateIsAFeeling]

Press 2 for humping, viking style

[seapeddler]

A classic case of bear semen on the rotors.

[timpos546]

Javisst skyll på att ni fick ett problem tror snarare att VOLVO inte hadde byggt bilen ordentligt :D

[jason123456789210]

What the fuck did China do to a fucking Swedish car

[1957thack]

The driver flinched and hit the brakes which will over ride the automatic braking system.

[thomasucc]

The wipers were applied instead of the brakes, computer error !!!!!!!

[TheONEWELL]

Hahahaha.Cheap Chinese unreliable quality ;)

[xionz83]

auto pilot after crash when the driver being disabled, being drag by the truck to nearest hospital.

[Icandrum2]

thats one way to stop.

[QQuaeE]

this is the brand new S60 .. right ?

[RacingKing012]

LOL. Never buy swedish car. The electronics were so stupid the wipers net on. "AW SHIT!!! MOTHER FU... Ops. I mean em em weedy yeah. Damn. Who set that damn thing up."

[Apjooz]

@RacingKing012

Please make sense.

[Xrobx6000X]

"Hey Steve! Did you forget to upgrade the ECU for that safety feature we're gonna demonstrate for all these people?" Steve: "Awe shit, that's what you wanted me to do? Wups...."

[Xxsom3a35xX]

guys it wasn't a fail, the automatic brakes activate when the steering wheel is turned at least 1 degree!! the car was set up then started with a locked steering wheel so unless u live on a runway the car's auto brakes will work. thumbs up so people understand. :)

[MuscleCarFan01]

volvo's automatic brake system: a semi trailer

[snelkraker1]

please give me the car not crash it

[MacGyver920]

Stupid Swedes.

[RoTherN]

volvo city safety :D car should stop by itself :D the funniest one they did the same in front of hundreds of people :D

[JonTheChron]

Press "2" for Volvo fail

[volatill]

The windshield washer and wipers going off afterwards, is priceless.

Car is completely totalled, but your windshield--spotless.

[L33TH3R34P3R]

reporter: what went wrong

volvo guy: maybe our brakes failed? we dont know!

[HannesFury]

Well at least the automatic windscreen wipers worked? : /

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@HannesFury They activate only when you crash, to wipe off the blood.

[tummielvr]

@HannesFury I wonder why in some accidents, the windshield wipers come on

[stopscrewingaround11]

@tummielvr sometimes the stalk is clipped or the steering column bends turning the wipers on

[MacGyver920]

Hahaha! People from all over the world have gathered to see Volvo's brake test. Bahahaha! Useless shit cars! xD

[HtownBravo]

Holy crap! The poor driver must have suffered some whiplash! Look at his puny body once the car crashes. Brutal.

[derkman127]

check how his head bounches towards the steer and back xD

[KonyaliSelim14]

If i was the comentator, i would say: uhm people w gt some tecnical difficulties, *kgggggg*kggggggg*

[MacGyver920]

Bhahaha.

[TheKalabazaz]

ups!!!!



[samuelartemisa]

look.. the airbag dosnt even open!! now im sure.. volvo are the safest cars ever!

[marcvie9]

@samuelartemisa the test was only 30 km/h so airbags aren't needed

[Rubr1k]

@marcvie9 Yeah... Have you ever tried running your bicycle into a brick wall at a slow speed and trying to remain seated? Imagine that with biking as fast as you can, or just sitting down in a car.

[marcvie9]

@Rubr1k if the airbags where deployed at 30 km/h he would have a burn in his face from the airbag and it would be not effective at that speed plus it is quite expensive

[Rubr1k]

@marcvie9 lol, expensive. Yeah, because safety is clearly the least prioritized part of any car, cut down build quality to keep costs down.

[marcvie9]

@Rubr1k Yes, the quality is been worser and the safety also, because Volvo is owned by China Geely. China is the best when it comes to cutting costs but when it comes to safety... Look up some Chinese crash tests!

[kirre1234]

@samuelartemisa it's not needed for 30km/h herpderp

[yamahaevo]

The reason was that the car did not have that much power in the battery. In low power the safty systems are going off. This is confirmed ***************

[darkling9109]

haha very nice. But I'd never buy a car with any sort of automatic or computer interference with the brakes or steering in case it failed the other way, IE the sensor sees a twig in the road and decides its time to brake full force, don't worry about that semi behind you lol :P I'm the driver, I'll handle the driving thank you.

[THGsyndromet]

Man this is sad.. I read about this, the citysafe control was turned off..

[babeeshan9]

A Volvo is supposed to be a VERY safe car. One question, where's the Airbag?

[Geopatras]

@babeeshan9 why you have to put airbags in a brake test car ?

[babeeshan9]

@Geopatras well, i dont know about anyone who turns the airbag off ... and a airbag on will not do anything...

[Geopatras]

@babeeshan9 I do because i dont wear seatbelts sometimes.

[yamahaevo]

@babeeshan9 The airbags are ejected in higher speeds to protect the people inside the car.

[MrSoberSoldier]

@throttlejockey77 LOLOLOLOL
