Who’s excited to see what a vehicle without crumple zones does to a regular car at 60+ mph? Smart money is on at least one person being split completely in half, but the hail mary returns on “no fatalities” is really tempting.
Look, maybe some by crazy chance, it's super safe for occupants. However, I think the cars it hit will be sheared a good ways through.
And this is precisely why many people I know want SUVs. Compact cars are simply not safe anymore in much of the United States. I drive a hatchback in Texas and have to pay more attention driving here than anywhere else I've lived. The many lifted pickup trucks simply can not see anything other than SUVs, and that ignores the crash testing problems which need to be updated to better reasonable modern roads largely filled with SUVs and pickup trucks.
