Why would they crash at highway speeds? On a highway, they'd be in the dedicated lane. Not on a highway, they wouldn't be going at highway speeds.
The point is an alternative to today's setup, for the majority of people who need to get somewhere. Not a way to mai

Because accidents will happen regardless?
No one can possibly control all variables that would cause a crash.

Funny how what you call a smallest-possible compact crossover looks like a huge disgusting waste of space to my European Škoda-driver’s eyes.
The moment a car can be described as a “crossover”, or worse, an SUV, it becomes a waste of space IMO.

Because it’s not a metric for drivers? It’s a metric for the theoretical autonomous highway network mentioned above…
Plus modern crossovers are already very size efficient, A 2024 compact crossover like the Rav4 is pretty much already the smallest possible space that can comfortably accommodate 4 adult men in seated positions and 4 large suitcases.
