And just why is that emergency braking rate good enough? Why can't it be better? LRVs have rates of 5 to +6 mphps. It's clearly not the presence of passengers that dictate the rate.The structural integrity of the shell is not in question - I've already noted that it held up fine, but collision and corner posts are not going to stop rails from puncturing the front end of the car. |
