Oh look, another car. Surely this one is going to solve climate change.

I would love to see it crash tested with side impact from an electric suv.

It’s an auto-cycle. Which is probably more like a motorcycle, but without helmet requirements. It should be significantly safer than a motorcycle, particularly in the safety category of: not losing a leg during a fender bender. But larger vehicles it becomes a simple mass problem. The best hope for a vehicle like this is probably to become a low wedge and flip the heavy vehicle over or launch it to avoid crumple zones.
