    • @teardowndan5364
      @teardowndan5364 2 ปีที่แล้ว +424

      Yup, the airbag deployment is timed as a function of speed at impact and deceleration so it inflates at just the right time to stop your head from smashing into the steering wheel. At that point, your head will be ~18" away, give or take a few depending on sitting position.

    The sunvisor displays are only "Certain Death" if used improperly. I had similar (but much higher quality) sunvisors in my '06 Grand Caravan for like ten years. It was great for allowing the front seat passenger to watch a movie on long road trips, and a rather funny coincidence, but you actually named my primary use of the driver's sunvisor monitor. I am a Private Investigator and Security Guard and would often watch movies on it during long surveilance jobs, or low risk overnight watches. I'd also occasionally use it to review footage while still keeping my cameras available to record. It's far less distracting than using a laptop as I can keep my head up and still be watching outside the vehicle as opposed to looking down at my lap or the passenger seat.

    I actually use the "Bluetooth seatbelt" in my Impala although I just bought one from a junkyard instead of ordering something from Amazon. I use it as the detection sensor in the passenger seat is stupidly oversensitive to the point that the miniscule amount of power running through an Aux cable from my iPod will set it off. (Yes, I still use an iPod. I do a fair amount of travel in areas where cell reception is not a given so I like having backup music.)

    The seatbelt clip is actually very useful. If you work in trade and cant afford a van, you have to use a car.

    The bedazzled airbag was actually less injurious than I expected, but still a hard no. And I had assumed it was just one person doing it - I didn't realise it was a trend or anything. Guess we'll see it tested for real at some point.

      I think the big thing is that plenty of people have bedazzled their steering wheel with actual crystals, which have a lot more weight to them. The plastic ones probably are fairly harmless, assuming they don't directly hit you in the eye. But rocks? Not so much.

      If that happens, you really should take it to a dealer and avoid having anyone on the passanger until you do. The car uses information about the weight of the passenger to know when to deploy the airbag, if its staying on when nobody is in it, it's not doing that correctly and could fire at the wrong time. A lot of issues with those systems have a transferable lifetime warranty, so there is a very good chance the dealer will get it fixed for free or relatively low cost.

    Seatbelt clip, when I was in college, I use to carry a heavy enough bag that when I put it on the passenger seat, it would often trigger the seatbelt alarm and I'd need to always have the seat belt engaged. Granted, I'd usually belt in my backpack so it wouldn't be loose, but I could see some niche situations where it'd be useful and not stupid deadly.
    As for the spikes and sequins, I think both could be awful in a car accident. Not only would you have the airbag exploding, but also the force of the car stopping adding momentum to the projectiles. All you need is one to hit you in the eye.

      Exactly right. The touch screens are the worst in my opinion because you can't FEEL if you're touching the correct area of the screen, forcing your eyes off the road. At least you can hold a cell phone in your field of vision and still observe the road, although most idiots still make it dangerous.

      I'm glad that some Car Brands now started to at least have physical buttons to navigate through the menus and the option to have everything displayed right behind the steering wheel (like Audi does). BMW almost went full touch screen but they now decided to put both physical buttons and touchscreen in their newer cars, i hope the "Control everything with a huge Touchscreen only" Trend dies quickly.

    I used the first product, seat belt buckle alarm silencer, when driving for Amazon. I went through 2 versions. I started with the exact same carbon fiber version y'all had, but upgraded within a week or so to a buckle extender. It was a roughly 1 foot long belt with male on one end and female on the other. One of our largest team members used it cause the belt didn't even fit her girth. I used it as an occasional silencer for when rolling a couple dozen feet from on house to another. Our vans wouldn't go into gear if the belt was unbuckled, but I would often drive less than 100 feet between deliveries. Buckling up for under 30 seconds of travelling under 15 mph (slower than seatbeltless electric scooters) simply didn't feel like it required a belt. That tool saved me tons of hassle and time.

The chime would go off once every 5 minutes or so. Enough to be sort of annoying. So I left it buckled all the time. I guess I could see how a product like that could be useful in this situation... kind of.

It would be nice to be able to get in and out of the truck, move the truck up a quarter mile and do our thing without having to hear the incessant seatbelt warning. We get in and out of the work truck like a thousand times a day usually just to drive up a hundred yards at a time.

    For the seatbelt latch, I have actually considered getting one for my passenger seat. I drive a 2015 mini and for whatever reason, anything metal/electronic in the passenger seat trips the weight sensor, even just my laptop sitting flat, so it would be nice to not have to drive with the belt fastened in an empty seat. As for the sun visor monitors, I could see myself using these to get work done in a parking lot. Lots of times I've needed to send an email really quick or get some writing done and there's no way for me to hold my laptop in a way that I can see the screen and use the keyboard without moving my seat and steering wheel a lot. Having a monitor there and a Bluetooth keyboard in my lap would probably be a lot more practical, but obviously never for use while driving.
