It's only a deathtrap because driving in the USA you have to share a massive high speed interstate with 2.5 ton SUVs and pickups. With lower speed local driving (the type that would be enabled by more density), and without subsidizing monstrous american-style cars, I think these smaller EVs would be quite reasonable safety wise.
- SXX 3y agoCheap chinese cars are unsafe. It's a fact. Collision with 3-ton concrete motorway barrier will be deathly in any country.
- mlsu 3y agoSo are bicycles, if you ride them outside of a protected lane. 30mph collision with a barrier is probably quite survivable in one of these things. Obviously 70mph not so. Unsafe depends on your environment. I'm perfectly safe biking about 3/4ths of the way to work. As soon as I get off the protected bikeway, it's a deathtrap.
