They do miss one thing. Look at the end of the crash and you see some kind of explosion in the SUVs driver compartment. My opinion of SUVs and large terrain cars made for city traffic is that this is just a stupid and dumb ting to make richer people to feel safer by the cost of other people’s safety. Great video that show why I think so but also shows other problems with cars.

Sorry, Kenny. No explosion. The only thing lighting up the cab at the end is the lighting for the in-cab cameras. Even if you desperately want that SUV to burst into a magnificent fireball, there just isn't anything that unstable or flammable in the cabs of any cars made. Even gasoline has to be coaxed into exploding. I agree that SUVs are more dangerous for cars, but cars are also more dangerous for pedestrians. There is also a "compatibility issue" there as well. And this is beside the fact that no matter how large the opposing vehicle is, 60 mph is a lethal speed. Every car has its inherent strengths and risks (SUVs are prone to tipping due to their high center of gravity. So although they may survive the initial crash, there is a high certainty that they will tip over making the accident that much more dangerous for the passengers).
