>> #9. Method And Device For Recognition of a Collision With a Pedestrian (pop the hood) > Sounds like a pretty smart system to us. With that in mind, here's a little suggestion for the inventors: When you guys roll out the next version of this thing, maybe it'd be better if it actually PREVENTED the collision. The point of this system is to mitigate harm to the pedestrian after the point at which a collision was impossible to avoid (which is easy to detect). It sounds like avoiding the collision is great idea, but a system that can do that can cause harm. The idea with the hood popping is that it can only help. FWIW, this was designed for is for BMWs whose hoods pop in the appropriate direction.
