Mfer gonna blow up like a ford fiesta when it gets rear ended LMAO
Seriously though after the fiestas, they introduced regulation to have an emergency gas valve shutoff in the event of collision. What safety features does that high pressure thruster tank have?
Also, it's a under constant high pressure like a fire extinguisher or SCBA tank (also wrapped in composite material.) They need inspection of the internal shell for rust, abrasions, deep knicks/cracks. Because that greatly reduces structural integrity of the shell under constant high pressure or they go boom. Will this high pressure tank need those annual inspections?
Like seriously this thing is so impractical... It'll just be a collectors item sitting in people like Jay Leno's garage.

Having the tanks in a car would be much, much more dangerous then the potential of it evading a head on collision.
And then we are even talking about the weight and volume these tanks and equipment would need.
