Impressive, but it literally bounces off the larger car in this one.
You mean you actually have metal around you when you drive
in traffic?
Try riding a bicycle. Oh, it would be a good idea to take a few
courses first. I'd recommend these:

You can even put a (simple) computer on the bicycle to let
you know how slow you are going.
In five or so years you may be good enough for downtown
DC in rush hour. The consequences of failure at this are
extreme.

No airbags, no crumple zones. It is all ass, attention and
attitude. That is what the free market is supposed to be. I
take a calculated risk and I get a return.
If I calculate wrong I'm screwed, if I prepare insufficiently
I'm screwed, if I execute wrong I'm screwed. Only if I do
it all right and on time am I rewarded.
That is basic, and that is where the automobile manufacturers
failed. They had the assets, the skilled American work force,
and the technology. But they failed to calculate, prepare, and
execute.
I can't believe that business school graduates could execute
worse than a bicycle commuter.
