Found this link this morning.

It was the opening paragraph that made me spit out my coffee.

"Why it's bad to get hit by a car?"

wow.. never knew such type of research/technology existed...

They make a good point though.. it will be hard to market...

excerpt:
"It's hard to imagine that a customer would say 'Wow, I really I need that on my car because I hit a lot of pedestrians''


haha.. how about mine:

"Gee mister, I'm so grateful you thought ahead before you ran me over. Whew I thought I was a goner, for sure... Good thing you were prepared.. You saved my life. Thank you."

Of course, none of that fancy technology helps the pedestrian who gets run over by a car. :)

Shouldn't liability insurance be significantly lower in a car that is nice to pedestrians, since it's almost always the car's fault when an auto/pedestrian accident occurs? Enough to lower the premiums $200 NPV over the six-year lease of the vehicle?

And to think, I've spent all these years trying to avoid pedestrians . . . well that policy is ended. What a relief!
