[ale] Ot: Geek Squad

[Robert L. Harris]

  I remember reading that.  Also they did an impact test between the SMART
and some 4door luxury sedan.  The smart doesn't have crumplezones.
Instead it has a full steel rollcage or such.  In the impact the sedan
crumpled and the smart bounced like a ping-pong ball, but the passengers
came out just fine.  That is how the car was supposed to react.



Thus spake Christopher R. Curzio (ale at accipiter.org):

DISCLAIMER:
      These are MY OPINIONS             "We can't solve problems by using
       ALONE.  I speak for                the same kind of thinking we used
       no-one else.                         when we created them."
