Yup, this is fact, no arguments here.
But it doesn’t feel this way though, because new cars kinda… crumple… in a crash.
I get that it’s how they protect the driver, by deforming and absorbing the energy instead of just thrusting all into the occupants, but really makes them feel flimsy, compared to those olds hunks of steel.
I’d rather be alive in a crumpled wreck that dead in a barely dented tank though.
