    Does the smart car have a smart feature that tells you to duck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye when a truck is about to hit you? Maybe an ejection button with a parachute?

    What safety feature could possibly save you from a head on collision in that micro car?

    Enlighten me.

    What safety features do you have in any car for events like that? You can add as many airbags and what not as you want, but unless you're wearing a helmet and a HANS device the biggest issue will always be your neck.

    As for the Smart, it has a monocoque type safety cell. Which does a good job for starters.

    Obviously you aren't suppose to drive Smart cars down the interstate, or at least common sense says not to.
