The "Drive-cycle" basically is the representative of the road. Drive cycles are used to reduce the expense of on road tests, time of test and fatigue of the test engineer. The whole idea is to bring the road to the test lab (a chassis dynamo-meter) or to the computer simulation. Two kinds of drive cycle can be made.
In reality, the test is constructed to simulate, for example, a reversing car or a child rushing out onto the road. [3] [4] This is because it is more likely that the moose will continue across the road than remain in place or turn back, making it more advisable to brake hard and try to slip behind the animal than to swerve in front of it.

An example of the use of the supercar description for early muscle car models includes the May 1965 Car Life road test of the Pontiac GTO, [citation needed] followed in 1968 with a Car and Driver review of the 1969 American Motors SC/Rambler describing it as ready to compete in "the Supercar street racer gang" market segment, [30] with the ...
Netflix's highly anticipated boxing event between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul experienced multiple technical glitches, leading to investor concerns over the company's ability to broadcast live events.
This test is identical to the one in the Euro NCAP; in the US, the NHTSA lacks a similar test, while the IIHS uses static barriers for their partial overlap impact tests. The side impact test against a wheeled deformable barrier platform is designed to simulate a broadside collision where a vehicle perpendicularly impacts the doors of the vehicle.
