On December 22, the Association of Highway Safety and Insurance (IIHS) announced the latest safety test results of tesla Model Y, saying that it achieved the highest safety rating Top Safety Pick+.
The test results showed that the Tesla Model Y achieved the highest rating in six tests: driver side front small offset collision, co-pilot side front small offset collision, overlapping front collision, lateral collision, roof strength and head protection, and seat. At the same time, the radar-free version of the Tesla Model Y in the North American market has achieved more advanced autopilot assist functions after adopting a pure visual sensing solution, equipped with a front-mounted anti-collision system and achieved excellent results in vehicle-vehicle and person-vehicle crash tests, meeting all the criteria of the Top Safety Pick+ Award.
IIHS is one of the most rigorous safety crash tests in the world, and through the continuous increase of crash test items, it restores the most realistic situation after the accident of the vehicle. IIHS grades the vehicle's performance on four levels: Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor, with the test results directly linked to the vehicle insurance rate. In addition, IIHS will only select the lowest-end model for testing, and manufacturers can re-test the optional high-end vehicles, but the results must be announced together with the low-end models to ensure the safety of all models from the bottom up.
Model Y not only achieved the highest safety rating for IIHS for excellent active and passive safety, but also passed the Crash Test of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and achieved a five-star safety rating.
Tesla has very strict high standards in safety design, and all of its models have received NHTSA five-star ratings. Among them, Model 3 not only received NHTSA's all-five-star safety rating and ENCAP's all-five-star rating, but also won the Top Safety Pick+ award in May this year like Model Y. In the U.S. government's New Car Evaluation Program, the Model 3 vehicle has a lower probability of injury than any vehicle it tests.
In terms of active safety, Tesla's entire range of vehicles is equipped with Autopilot automatic assisted driving as standard, even if the AP function is not turned on, only the active safety function can predict the risk, predict in advance, implement measures such as auxiliary steering and emergency braking, and effectively reduce the accident rate.
Tesla's "Vehicle Safety Report for the First Quarter of 2021" shows that Tesla will have an average of one traffic accident per 6.74 million kilometers of mileage when tesla does not turn on the AP system and only turns on the active safety function. According to NHTSA data in the United States, on average, there is one traffic safety accident in the united states every 780,000 kilometers of road traffic. Tesla Autopilot auto assisted driving makes the level of driving safety 8.66 times the national average!
All along, Tesla has emphasized "safety first", and its models have no "safety level", all of which meet the highest safety standards to ensure the safety of users.
