Which is safer, electric car or traditional car?

Because the traditional car has been developed for so many years, after numerous transformations and improvements, it is better than the electric car in terms of development history and safety. As the majority of car users, when we choose to buy a car, safety is the first problem. Then the problem is coming. How do we judge whether a car is safe? There are two ways at present. One is the test results of C-NCAP, an old vehicle safety testing and evaluation agency, which I believe everyone is familiar with; Second, the test results of China Insurance Research Institute C-IASI.

In terms of active safety configuration, pure electric vehicles with outstanding intelligence still have relatively high advantages. Compared with the traditional fuel version, the electrification ratio of pure electric vehicles is larger and higher. The key is to put a lot of sensors on your body. Here, take Weimar EX5 (parameter | picture) as an example, Weimar's L2 activity.

The navigation aid system provides a front monocular high-definition camera, three millimeter-wave radars, four panoramic cameras and twelve ultrasonic radars. These configurations not only act as the "eyes" of the car, but also improve the efficiency of the active safety system of the car.

Therefore, C-NCAP will mainly test the active safety configuration, such as body stability system, automatic braking, lane departure warning, blind zone warning, etc. For Weimar EX5, these are not problems, and such good results are not enough.

In the passive safety part, pure electric vehicles carry a lot of pots, just because the development process of pure electric vehicles is not as long as that of fuel vehicles, which makes the technology not perfect and sound, so spontaneous combustion often occurs after collision. After all, the fuel version of the car has been developed for a long time, with a lot of rich experience and mature technology, while the pure electric car needs to be continuously improved. However, according to the collision results of C-NCAP, the protection of electric vehicles for power batteries has been good.

Generally speaking, which is safer, the fuel version or the pure electric vehicle, we need to treat it according to the specific situation. We can't look at anything one-sidedly, and don't take the rhythm easily. After all, safety is a big problem. Only when the technology is mature and the products are sound can we be strict with ourselves and truly be responsible for safety.
