Seriously against a semi head on at highway speeds no car has much of a chance. Small cars do just fine against other small cars. Real world solution is simple. Get the trucks of the highway and invest in rail system for shipping goods. No it won't be an end all for trucks out there but will take it down to a quarter of the trucks currently used. Then that Soccer mom (or Jay) doesn't have the need to drive around in a 3.5 ton truck for "safety" reasons, our air will be a little happier with less pollution in it, the roads will be much easier to maintain esp. on those truck routes and of course only what 3.5 million truckers and others who rely on the industry will be left out in the cold. I'm sure the railroad can pick up some of 'em.

I have to say...

I agree with Ben on this one.
