I'm not the OP

In case you were worried about cars being too safe, don't worry. The most lethal car brand in the USA is pushing the envelope and innovating entirely new ways to make a nuisance of themselves.
Also, the dash cam footage of Tesla's self-driving tech is terrifying.

(A head-on crash at 60 MPH is like hitting a brick wall at 120 MPH.)

This is not true at all. The amount of energy is the same as hitting a brick wall at 120 mph, but the energy is spread over both cars. So the end result is actually the same as hitting a brick wall at 60 mph.

The Mythbusters got this wrong once and were buried with people correcting them, so they tested it and it turned out the viewers were right.
