Your thinking of it wrong, it's not an unsafe car, it's a safer motorcycle. It's definitely unsafe compared to any other 2021 car, but it's much safer than any other 2021 motorcycle.

They will get sued sooner or later when somebody's high school aged daughter and her friend gets crushed in a head on, rollover, collision with tree, etc at that max speed even if the injuries would have been worse if they did it on a motorcycle.

A family over here won tens of millions against Hyundai on a 10 year old car with over 100,000 miles on it when possibly a steering part broke and killed some kids in a head on. It wasn't even clear that part broke before the collision but a jury sees a grieving family and a multi billion dollar corporation and just wants to help the family.

People die and corporations get sued, that's how it works no matter who's to blame.
