In addition to that, the Kei cars look so light and fragile. I feel like if they were to get into a serious accident, the occupants of the car are very unlikely to survive. I'm ignorant on this topic, but how is the safety for Kei cars?
The modern kei cars are not bad. Japan made this standard that kei cars must be just as safe as normal cars.

They are safe enough to pass North American regulations.
In fact, Mitsubishi i is actually a kei car in Japan.
In North America, 660cc engine was replaced with electric motor(Mitsubishi i-Miev), but chassis/platform are all identical.
