      I’ve definitely seen a group of 3 guys holding a big flat screen to the roof of a car. Which wouldn’t have been super remarkable if they hadn’t passed me going 80 on the freeway.

        I would truly fear for the structural integrity of a smart car if you put something as large as a 75-in TV on top of it.

          Why? A 65" OLED TV is just 55 pounds, 75" isn’t much heavier. The roof can obviously take it as it’s made to hold even if the entire car flips over.

          But those TVs aren’t that heavy. And I’m sure the smart car has to pass some load bearing tests to be deemed road safe (e.g. it should protect the driver should it end up upside down somehow.)
