The two-seater is about the size of a SmartCar, but when parked, the car can actually fold. After folding, the car takes up about a third of a normal parking space. The Hiriko, Basque for 'urban car,' folds as the rear of the car slides underneath its chassis. Every square foot counts."

cause the occupants of an SUV wont be killed if they hit a brick in the road
But they are more likely to suffer injury/fatality in rollover accidents. Funny that. Guess it has something to do with all that mass.
