    [OC] Ich habe reale Überlebensraten im Auto in „Zigaretten pro Jahr“ umgerechnet. Das tödlichste Auto ist so, als würde man 259 Zigaretten pro Jahr rauchen. Am sichersten ist 0.

      Never, ever thought of it this way! Never!! No wonder the whole world loves the first two, up there on your list. Genius 👏👏👏🪙

      Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of- court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

      Have you compared these numbers against crash test data to see if they actually correlate with how good the car’s safety system is? Because otherwise I would have to assume a lot of the differences between cars are differences in who tends to buy them, what areas they’re most popular in, and some amount of random noise.

      Also the graphic is a bit weird because it seems to imply that 115 cigarettes a year is a standard amount (since it’s shown as approximately the length of a normal cigarette), but actually the average smoker consumes like 10-20 a day so that’s thousands a year, not hundreds.

      If there is a oposite of r/dataisbeautiful, this should be sticky post there 🤣

      Those are not a lot of cigarettes. A normal smoker goes through a pack (20) a day, so that’s just 2 weeks of smoking in the worst case.

      Why would you take a value people have connection to (fatality rates or lives lost or whatever) and insert an unnecessary step to convert to something completely unintuitive? Then you’re encoding colors with no underlying logic? And what’s the base rate, no driving at all? Because pedestrians die too so how could have any good comparison?

      My mom is such a hypocrite nagging me for taking up social smoking with the boys on the weekend when she just traded her Outback for a RAV4 like a lunatic with a death with. Couldn’t be me.

      The safest cars here are premium SUVs. Guess if you pay for a big premium car, it should protect you.

      I always wondered why it smells like cigarette smoke in my garage when I don’t smoke.

      interestingly, i just quit smoking 67 days ago, and according to my app, that’s 1019 cigarettes that i haven’t smoked, so 259 cigarettes is basically nothing in the context of smoking

      FYI: there is a unit called Micromort, which measures the probability of dieing doing certain things. you followed the same principle. the conversion is 1 micromort=smoking 1.4 cigarettes. check out the article on wiki for a fun read

      i dont understand this. if you quit smoking by a certain age its medically like u never smoked. its not as if „10 cigarettes a year“ are dropped into a mortality bucket.

      Tesla Full Self Driving is just „immediate lung cancer“ levels of cigarettes

      I hate things like this because it doesn’t look at the amount of people that own these vehicles. Rav 4 vs Audi Q7… yeah… a lot more people will be driving the Rav 4

      National to what nation?

      Interesting that the Camry Hybrid is half of the non-Hybrid. Almost as if the buyer profile was a big part of it, as others have suggested

      So how do you calculate the cigarette per year danger? Is it pressumed to be a linear curve you can extrapolate?

    27. preedsmith42 on

      It doesn’t make any sense if it’s not the same driver.
      What are we comparing here exactly?

      Since maybe some bad drivers buy the same type of car, or those cars are used in particular traffic environments that make more accidents happen.

      Or some cars are rare enough to not have been involved in fatal accidents. Like I doubt those Audis are sold the same than Mitsubishis.

      Does this mean I can smoke an Audi Q7 4WD or Volvo XC90 4WD with none of the risks normally associated with smoking?
