Even an inert missile hitting a car stands a pretty good chance of killing everyone inside. It is going to feel like a small explosion, there will be shredded metal car parts everywhere, a hot rocket motor, and, as a bonus, an impending car-crash. The NHTSA doesn't test cars to protect occupants from injury in a crash after a missile has hit the car, but I bet the outcomes are worse. I'm sure that blades improve the lethality of such an instrument, but it may be more psychological than essential. If such a thing hadn't worked as well as it appears to, I'm sure that engineers could have found another way to make it a little more lethal.
