Single person car

So the idea of a single person car isn't really new. But what would people be willing to buy?

If you could have a single person car that was:

Cheap enough that each adult could have one, but also be able to afford an SUV, less than 5K new.
Safety is critical, the car doesn't have to be that small
The person sits in the middle to move them away from the sides of the car so getting hit by an SUV is not a big deal
The front and rear wheels are close enough that if the car is tboned, the other car hits the wheels first
The wheels extend beyond the body so the wheels absorb some of the shock (think dune buggy) in the event of a head on collision
Light enough so that if it gets a direct hit, the car will slide rather than crumple.
High structural integrity so if the car rolls the passenger is safe.
The center seat can slide to either side so the driver can exit from either door.
Ideally 2 of them could fit into one standard garage spot, but that may be too small.
