Not a very good lab then. The test needs to be cover enough of the conditions you're trying to prove a product to so that the customer gets a product that works in ZZ% of their conditions, where more ZZ costs more $$.Automakers ship entire cars to waaay North locations where they have groomed snow fields to test a car's snow tolerance; it's so difficult to fully duplicate the extreme conditions they want to test for that the lab needs to Nature, with help from Sno-Cat. a $25K car can be driven through dry, wet, powdered, blizzard or any other kind of snow without fryng the engine, but the MBTA's $1000K subway cars die when run in snow a Chevy Cruz can handle. The MBTA has a long tradition of destroying their own equipment, so it's no surprise that they've never fixed the issue. |
