Here's a car crashing at 500 km/h (also fake/CGI)
Mercedes crashes into a wall at 300kph

This algorithm can't be right. There would be a lot more parts flying up and sideways, also the rear end would likely lift up rather than pancaking straight into the wall like that. Not that it would make any difference to the passengers.
If you see the video I posted of a real crash test, they lift up and parts fly even at very mundane speeds
It’s from the simulation game, BeamNG.Drive

A dynamic soft-body physics vehicle simulator capable of doing just about anything.

It’s the most accurate consumer-available vehicle simulator when it comes to crash-physics
I guess everyone who thought it was real, the game did it’s job then haha

Or who’d pay for that many very expensive cars doing tests at illegal speeds … Not Darwin …
That was a clue - even used, the Maybach they were crashing is a $100K car - and nobody is crashing a few dozen of those. Not even government agencies. The lack of damage to the wall was a clue. The lack of detail in the crashed car. It goes on and on. My favorite fake detail - the exhaust pipe stays intact and projects several feet from the car after the 200 km/hr crash...like it never even hit the wall.
The description says it's a game. But also you can tell because of how wierd and bland the environment looks.

Brutal. Beyond 100kph I'd prefer to be up front just so it ends quickly and I don't hate my existence. Most drivers really don't understand how dangerous it is to drive on public roads, just because we do it most every day and usually nothing happens. But even if we did understand the danger, our behavior would probably not change. Humans suck.

Yes no airbags
Well, it sure makes me think about not having a head on crash too....
Interesting the 150kph CGI dummy driver looks like he is still twitching after impact.

Even if you are not compressed into a mush in the car, decelerating to zero from that speed is going to turn your insides into a soup.
In a perfect scenario, like laying on your back on the floor in a freefalling elevator. The human body can survive quite a high g load, like 50g, so if the crash structure deforms "evenly" a person can survive a 60mph to 0 deceleration with only 2 feet of movement.
Lame CGI

Yeah it's pretty bad.
I'm feeling so much better about being a back seat driver.
The original posted video is a computer generated "cartoon". I rather see it with the real hardware, a cartoon can't show what really is going to happen. I suppose that is how the manufacture does its testing on many things, and that is also why many things made now are un proven junk.
