Default Re: Smart Cars...

You Tube has several videos of the crash tests done on the Smart car. It has an extremely ridgid steel cage, front and side air bags, and energy absorbing technology. After a high speed crash test, with everthing scattered about, the door still opened. But at 1700 #'s it still would change directions pretty quick in a head-on with and SUV.
