In general, there are two design considerations made to protect passengers in the event of a crash. First, the passenger compartment of the car is usually reinforced (in a manner similar to a race car roll cage) to help keep it from being seriously damaged on impact. Second, those parts of the car not pertaining to passengers are designed to give way and collapse on itself on impact. The concept, called crumple zones, allows the car to absorb some of the energy of the impact. This helps protect the integrity of the passenger compartment by taking away some of the energy it would have to deflect as well as help reduce the likelihood and extent of a ricochet that can possibly cause the car to get into an even more dangerous situation.

If 2 identical cars crash and each is traveling at 50 mph is the impact speed 50 mph or 100 mph and why?
The impact speed for each car is 50 mph. During the crash, both cars are accelerated from a speed of 50 mph to zero, hence the impact speed is 50 mph. The relative speed between each car, however, is 100 mph.
