I think most cars will be in trouble for direct hit onto a compact area. No one should be designing against such impact safely.
There is a safety feature, crumple zone in a car that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of direct impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants. Sometime a car might seem crumple, but the frame remains intact.
There is minimum protection for side impact. In this case, two out of three occupants survived.
