I have to iterate I never bashed the car. I was just pointing out that the car is just a more expensive motorcycle that is not ideal for the US market. As far as safety, I live in perhaps the best area for finding bad drivers and they seem to have a desire for the heavier more metallic vehicles. Sure the smart car can take a hit but can it take a crush between two heavy set vehicles, maybe you wanna try but I'll just not. The Kenworth vs SUV is a terrible analogy, first off the kenworth requires a more educated driver, tops out at maybe 85 MPH vs 100+, and more rare to find on the road. Not to say it's impossible but to be analogous how many pedestrians get hit by attentive, alert, good drivers driving family sedans? Not many. About being unable to carry groceries on a bike, you obviously haven't ridden a full-size touring bike. Not only can a touring bike carry groceries among other things, it's not a bad ride in rain.
With all said, if you want a smart car then good for you, you probably live in an area the smart car was made for. As for the US market, you might as well have a bike because the smart car isn't gonna give you anything worth the extra money cept for a roof and 2 extra wheels.
