Solar powered cars are designed to be extremely light to be efficient. This minimalistic structure would provide little protection during a collision with a car and SUVs.
Also acid in the batteries (if it uses lead acid batteries) can also pose a danger.
My suggesstion is that they should build bigger solar cars and use lithium ion batteries.
