Could you please explain how it affects those things? I'd be very interested in learning about that.
I can't speak towards repairablity and legality, but I know cars are safer now than they used to be back when they were made of steel, because they crumple which absorbs the impact of crashes. Rigid steel transfers the impact to it's occupants.
I'm eager to see how this thing performs in crash tests.
Ah that makes sense. I'm interested to see how it performs there too
