Telo is going in that direction if it’s something you’re interested in.

I know they don't need to waste space for an engine compartment, but where's the crumple zone?

Seriously. It would be the best of both worlds if there was a trunk in front, and it's a small truck. Get rid of the 4 doors/back seats. And put a 3rd seat in the middle - my perfect vehicle

They claim they’ve done simulations and 14” of crumple material is all you need if you don’t have an engine block in front of you. They’re still in the preproduction stage and haven’t gotten to physical crash tests yet.
