I know nothing about cars, but I've been wondering how anything remotely resembling what was shown could pass a crash test. It's going to have to be radically transformed, so why bother even showing a design at this point?

My company has been through crash about three times at a million dollars a pop. I’m 99% certain that “truck” as shown will not pass.

Not even getting in to ped impact.

There is no way 1/8” steel panels will cut it. There will need to be some thin panels and some serious crumple zone going on “under the hood”.
