Traffic speed in cities is usually so bad that you will rarely if ever meet with a major accident using these cars. That doesn't mean that safety isn't important. It's just that we are not talking about 70mph American freeway speeds.
- danans 9y agoTraffic speed is not constrained on the brand new inter-city freeways being built in India, though. I had that experience as a passenger not too long ago, and the high speeds + Indian driving habits were ... exciting.

- justin66 9y agoI wouldn't want to get in a partial-overlap head-on collision in one of these things, at even a third of the speed you're talking about.
- overcast 9y agoI spent a month traveling ALL of India last year. In the immediate cities sure. But go outside to the "highways", and it's like Mad Max out there. Seriously. Everyone is hauling ass on no lane roads, passing each other constantly into oncoming traffic. Also NO ONE wears seat belts. I had to demand them in cars that were picking me up. Usually they were either disconnected, or hiding away never used. It's terrifying.
