It is impossible to design a vehicle that will protect you in every conceivable situation. Your big SUV head-on against a fully loaded semi-truck at 70 mph? Probably not going to walk away from that one. It is, however, possible to design a small three-wheeled or even two wheeled vehicle that would protect a rider/driver from serious injury in a reasonably forseeable accident or collision. Modern composite materials, thoughtful design work and careful construction are the keys. I ride a motorcycle 70 miles a day back and forth to work, and want to build a vehicle that would be a cross between TREV and the California Commuter so that the winter months are a little more comfortable.
