Question

1. explain why mid-sized cars and SUVs have different rollover fatality rates.

Answer 1

Answer:

1: Their higher center of gravity increases their risk of rollovers. Their larger mass increases their braking radius, reduces visibility, and increases damage to other road users in collisions. Their higher front-end profile makes them at least twice as likely to kill pedestrians they hit.

2: In recent years automakers have reduced the threat SUVs and pickups pose by more closely aligning their energy-absorbing structures with those of cars. Fuel economy can be improved without sacrificing safety.
