This is a better video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s
The Hummer was originally designed for the Military and off road use. It has a wider track and was not really designed for civilian use on the highway. (In other words, it was not made to be a hauler of things, but a mover of people.) It also has a number of configurations it can be used as (Ambulance, pickup, High Pickup, stake truck, people hauler etc.)
A Smart Car I would use for local driving but not for highway, but as that above video shows it is a fairly safe car.
We have the technology to make very safe cars. Anyone who has watched car racing has seen horrific accidents where the drivers come out with little to no injuries. But as with all technology it costs money.
Another thing to make driving safer is to better equip drivers, and that involves way more training than what they normally get.
My local Kiwanis Club is striving to get a Crash Avoidance Technology school started locally to train teenagers (and oldsters) in better driving techniques to avoid accidents.
As with any technology you can make it as great as you can but it is always the nut behind the wheel that is the final key to making it work.
