so does the door just pop out if it rolls over with a push of button? that would be pretty cool

pretty cool video. Just goes to show how much we have evolved in technology over the years.

MB cars r always very safe. It does justifies their mark-up to an extent

Diana and Dodi died because they didn't wear seatbelts. So did the driver. Notice how the bodyguard (who DID wear one) survived.

They've been very safe even before then. MB's ALWAYS been all about safety. They invented a ton of things such as crash boxes and crumple zones that we take for granted today.

That 1m upside-down drop seems kind of lame. Wouldn't any car pretty much survive that? I'd be more interested in see how it fares landing upside down from 4-6m (for example flipping off an overpass).

if its going off an overpass its more likely to be landing into a ditch or water, even then those things are rare

the 1m drop i think was just to test the car flipping over

interesting

Ya I don't really get the short distance upside down drop. When would that ever happen?

I wonder if you have a button like that in the car that releases the doors, or if it's automatic. That was one of the huge issues with the DMC Delorean, you became trapped in the car if you were in an accident because of the gullwings.

Behaved as expected, meh...
