The Australian made 1998 Corolla (7th gen, model E100) was more equivalent to the 1995 model in other markets. (edit) The E100.I only had optional airbag in Australia/NZ (source: http://australiancar.reviews/reviews.php#!content=review&make=Toyota&model=Corolla&gen=891 ) The test car was an E100.II, and airbags aren't listed as a difference between the models.

Whether or not it had airbags, it's really not good for the occupants if the safety cell is compromised, as in this crash.

From what I understand, the self driving cars will do exactly this. They will not, under any circumstances, knowingly go against traffic signals. Then when they recognize the firetruck behind them, they will wait until it passes.

You have just come up with a possible reason for this video, that's a test car.

You own the ex-Toyota Pirelli test car? You could at least claim to own a cool car!>> ^ForgedReality:

I let them borrow my car for this video. :3

There are two similar versions on the sift:

and a really short version of the effects:

Without having watched the whole bit: The car itself is a 997 911 "Erlkönig", that's a test car built by the manufacturer before the new model is released. Usually they are more or less disguised (less as the introduction of the model comes closer). It seems Porsche has given this one to an austrian artist who crushes it to create a sculpture named "Kompression". This word in German is used both for the act of compression taking place in a running engine as well as for the act of compaction (as with the car in the compactor).

In my opinion a terrible waste of money.

My family always buys the post-crash tested cars. They're much more affordable!
