On the other hand, the Smart Car did better and it's almost the same size as the Gem car, which was the LSV in the video. The primary difference was the airbags and the protective crash cage of the Smart Car. I wouldn't want to be in a crash with either. The main difference is that LSVs, like the Gem, are permitted to drive only on roads that are 35mph, or less. The Smart can drive anywhere. Also, bicycles are permitted on most roads, even those above 35mph, where bike lanes may not be available. What is the Florida driving motto: "...share the road", I believe?
