Original Note:
The video is CGI from a game engine, not footage of real cars. While it looks realistic, it does not simulate what would happen in an actual accident on the road and cannot be used to assess the safety of different vehicle models. https://www.thedrive.com/news/no-those-viral-beamng-crash-test-videos-arent-realistic https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/technology-verify/viral-video-of-an-suv-vehicle-crash-test-not-real-fact-check/536-e19892ac-a3cd-4591-85fd-1f263f905257
