Is it Really that Smart?

Smart car, compact car, fuel economy

This morning on the way to work I noticed one of those "Smart Cars" on the interstate. It didn't look very smart to me.


With high fuel prices driving people to take extreme money saving measures, I see more and more of these "Smart Cars" on the road. To me they look like a full-body helmet more than a car, but I'm sure they're very economical.

The problem I see that makes the "Smart Car" pretty dumb, is that it looks like it could be crushed by an overweight driver in a Yugo. Let alone a minor collision with a full-size truck.

Do you think the driver's of "Smart Cars" would feel very smart after a head-on collision with a tractor trailer? I don't.
