I was nitpicking, but you're 100% right.
One glaring flaw is that they smash these vehicles against what are essentially concrete blocks, or steel poles, or the side impact test is a concrete block on wheels speeding towards a stationary vehicle. In the real world crashes are much more violent.
Sidenote: I don't know how good HID headlights are on the WK2, however, the halogen factory ones are abysmal. I replaced them on mine with a pair of eBay headlamps and then installed powerful LEDs in them, and adjusted them correctly so I don't blind oncoming traffic. Now I can see really well at night. But it was some good amount of work to replace them.
I bring this up because headlamps are a very important safety feature.
What you see here are just the parking LEDs. They actually contribute to the overall light when driving down the road at night. They're also the turn signals. No, I don't use them as DRLs. I configured the fog lights to be DRLs, and replaced them with LEDs as well.
