An isetta would never pass current safety tests. Crash tests have to be passed with a certain investment in weight, and nothing smaller than maybe a smart or twizy can anymore.

If all cars in a city were limited to say 30-40kph and to a certain maximum weight it might be possible to limit the maximum kinetic energy in an accident and thus require less safety margins. You are not going to be able to take it out of the "safe zone" though.
