Will safety be compromised in the future to go Green?

Many future concept cars are being developed and sold in the wake of the going Green Era. Many manufacturers are looking at fuel mileage and dismissing the safety factor of small cars versus larger vehicles, even on low speed urban roads. The RiN concept from Toyota is a vehicle which focuses on making the lives of the driver and passengers, and actually everyone around it, more healthy and stress-free. The exterior design of the Toyota RiN is intended to blend into the natural environment. The green glass and organic forms of the headlights, taillights and rear side windows are influenced by a type of tall-growing Japanese tree, the Yakusugi.

The ANVIL from American ATV maker Tomberlin is an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) legal for road use on low speed-limit urban roads.Powered by an all-electric drivetrain charged through a standard 110 volt outlet and regenerative braking, the ANVIL has a range of over 40 miles and a limited top speed of 25 mph.Tomberlin also claim that the economical and environmentally friendly ANVIL can go up to 50 miles for one dollars worth of power. Yet unlike many similar eco-friendly vehicles the ANVIL has a rather attractive and robust appearance which can only help potential sales.A multi-configuration seating layout allows for the rear bench seats to be folded flat giving the ANVIL a small truck-like cargo area behind the two front seats.
