I came across this video today. It's a talk that Bill Tally gave to the Motor Press Guild in Los Angeles. Mr. Tally is Fisker's Director of Vehicle Integration, which as I understand it means he and his team were the people responsible for turning the vision, idea and design into an actual product. His talk provides a fascinating look into the creation, engineering and certification of the car. It uses some of the B-roll footage we've seen before but there are also some graphics and video that is new, including hard-to-watch crash tests

Nicely done, but the crash test videos were difficult to watch...

They were, but it was reassuring to see how little deformation there was in the cabin after a 55 MPH rear crash. That was pretty impressive.

Okay, here's my question about the crash tests: If they went to the trouble to crash test them...why didn't they get the NHTSA to do the tests so they'd be able to brag about the results?!
