All these newfangled materials and production techniques may be making cars more survivable in crashes, but they pose a real challenge to rescue workers when it's time to get the occupants out of the wreckage. Then you got your hybrid cars with high-voltage cables in addition to pillars that laugh at older hydraulic cutters, and it's no wonder fire and police departments are getting worried. Still, a Fusion that can crash head-on into an F-150 at high speed and keep the occupants alive sounds like a good idea to us. [Newsweek]
