Pretty damn cool, but won’t come close to passing and NHTSA safety test in the USA.

I guess the "NHTSA safety test" is about high speed highway collisions. IHMO there should be a separate test for purely city cars, that move a lot slower.

Actually it’s 35mph. And we have never had a set of regulations strictly for “city cars “, an impulse I certainly appreciate but which in practice would be difficult to manage, I think.
