Have you ever worked with accelerometer, it most definitely does not read 1g in a stationary car when turned on its side. Done here, not teaching physics if I'm not getting paid...

Ehh. Forget the cars.
The accelerometers measuring along the
longitudinal axis in the cars, and along of the
vertical axis in the aircrafts. If you working with car acc.meters, you have to do, just rotate it 90 degrees and you will see that there is 1G. In aircrafts was built that way because, the vertical forces can cross the structural load limits during tight turns or high speed maneuvers.
