Its said that cars are “weaker” because they’re now made from a softer material proper to receive impact, thus providing safety to the driver. How will safety work with cybertruck’s 30x ‘ultrahard’ stainless steel when crashing?

For the cybertruck, the intent is you can throw a brick at it and not dent it. However the force of a brick is nothing to the overall car, it’s not going to hurt the driver if it hits the hood. Meanwhile driving into a brick wall will hurt the driver, it will dent the body panels, and it compress the crumble zones. This is because they just have steel plates on top of a frame with all the usual safety things and it doesn’t rely on the body panels
For safety.
