A "smart" car is just another icon of consumerism, like an iPhone, or a "snuggie".
If you want to spend money on stuff that is marketed to a self proclaimed "smart" niche audience of people who think that buying cute stuff makes them better or "smarter" for their purchased possessions, fine, do so, but don't expect the public to be enthused about your overconfidence in how much better material things make you and your life.
P.S. lets hope you're not in a "smart car" when and SUV forgets to stop behind you "too late" at a major intersection.
