If urban streets and street regulations were be modified to keep speeds under 30 km/h at all times and remove most of the SUV-type vehicles, small cars with less safety gear could be practical and safe for urban driving. Unfortunately the size/speed arms race in cars has left streets extremely dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and anyone who isn’t driving something weighing 1500+ kg. Perhaps if vehicle manufacturers/vendors were made partially liable for anyone injured in collisions involving their vehicles it would provide some pressure in the right direction.
