I saw a 'smart car' last week. It looked like a death trap ...

Top Gear ran a smart car into a cement wall at 70 mph. The car and
the wall both took a beating. The front end was reduced to confetti,
but the passenger compartment was remarkably undamaged. The passenger
door was even still openeable.

I don't know if the accident was survivable, but the car did a lot
better than you would suspect.

Have a look at what Bright is doing with carbon fiber components. They are
an Indiana company and I thing they just got the money to build vehicles as
part of the Green Energy nonsense.
I know Penske is trying to do something with Bright for his Saturn brand.
