Better than scooters they are supposed to replace.



I wonder what’s worse: being squashed inside this car or just become airborne when scooter hits something. At least you’re required to wear a helmet when on a scooter. But as someone said here, if we only had those cars on the road(and a 30 km/h speed limit), it’d be much safer.


Seatbelts saved a bunch of lives by preventing occupants from getting flung out the car, so I’d imagine that being in the car is safer.

Current road death trends in the US indicate that people inside cars are dying less, but people outside of them are dying more, notably cyclists and pedestrians.


And this car has just one seatbelt (for the driver). The other passengers can go take a flight .


It has two seat-belts.


Huh, the video claimed otherwise. Nevertheless the safety is quite low here.
