	There is visually very little energy absorption, it all transfers to the occupants.  No one would have survived that collision.  That is a truly scary car.  The second one in the vid, the little piece of shit car, does remarkable well.  You can see energy ripple around the occupation zone. My professional opinion, is that the smart car is a death car.  I am sad to say it, as I have said before it looks well designed, albeit small.  From the vid, there is little to any energy absorption.  Scary freaking car.
