It can work if the other car took more of the damage than it would have compared to a collision with a "squishier" car. Would be interested to see a Cybertruck vs Cybertruck crash.
Postulate two spherical cybertrucken in a vacuum suspended from the same point by wire under Earth gravity acceleration. After contact each vehicle moves away from the point of contact with the energy equivalent of 1/2 the sum of each vehicle's input kinetic energy.
parent said: "no one in either car was hurt". If the cybertruck didn't have any damage it means that no energy was dissipated by "squishing it", basically it made the impact twice as bad (compared to a regular squishier car) for the occupants of both cars.
Maybe indeed no one got hurt, but then it means that the crash was at super low speed.
