Cars do get optimized for hitting rock walls (i.e. what happens in case of a crash).
- joevandyk 17y agoNo, they are not optimized for hitting rock walls. They are optimized for keeping costs low, getting reasonable performance and gas mileage, and meeting government safety standards. A car that is optimized for hitting a rock wall would get about 1 mile per gallon and have a top speed of 1 mile per hour.
