Although it doesn't come across in the video, this Smart Car -- despite being perched atop four giant monster-truck wheels -- can still drive easily under a standard North American automobile*.
These things are great fun. I took one out for a test drive a few years back and sent the saleman into a panic as I took my turn at the wheel. Shimmying across from the passenger side, I caught my leg on the handbrake . The salesman stood on the sidewalk, aghast as the car rolled down the hill with me trapped between the seats. If only I'd been in this monster version, the little kid I ran into wouldn't have caused quite so much damage to the car.
