It doesn’t, directly, however, the materials used in the exterior paneling contributes to the lack of safety in the vehicle and crash tests not only because of the materials, but also because of the shape of the materials and how they are joined.

The safety standards are a regulatory requirement. They have to pass the same tests as any other vehicle.

Not in the US. We don’t have many safety regulations on vehicles and crash tests are not mandatory.
