The EV forum is having a field day with the NCAP results. Saying the BMW uninspiring BMW i4 results are worse than a VW Polo.

I have been utterly fascinated with crash test results and videos since they first appeared on the internet.

I am VERY impressed with the i4 results and videos! Interior occupant safety looks awesome and safety systems seemed to work exactly as designed and specified!

And yes, this is a pretty embarrassing for BMW - second in a row no less.
Most of its competitors have perfect 5 stars since tougher NCAP tests in 2020.

This might put it into context a number of European manufacturers are unhappy with the current test regime:

It's all that crap demands for autonomous safety. Watch the videos. The dummies are well-protected. Heads hitting airbags only. Bodies are thoroughly controlled. Those are excellent crash results. IDGAF about the pedestrian or autonomous tests.

And Inside EVs is a shithole.
