New research by the Times shows that thousands of fatal crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided with lower hood heights and improved visibility.
It’s weird to me that rear view cameras have become so important and mandated (for good reason) while the front end is becoming more and more dangerous - I don’t want to throw technology at every problem but front bumper cams would probably do a lot as well, especially at low speeds, it could activate and take over the instrument panel when it detects anything solid in range. Be better than nothing - they’re not going to ban SUVs in this country anytime soon, I’m afraid.
