The gp was simply stating that being struck by a truck is more lethal than a car due to their flat, tall fronts. They weren't, by my reading, insinuating that trucks are more likely to hit people. That is indeed, in my opinion, a function of operator error all things equal.
- unethical_ban 5y agoThe GP said also, " The high hoods make for poor visibility around the front." to which your parent responded.
- jorvi 5y agoYup, this is also why the Cybertruck (probably) won't be road legal in Europe. Too many sharp edges that would seriously hurt a pedestrian on collision.

- harambae 5y agoYou don't necessarily need mirrors when you have reliable (probably ASIL-B, maybe ASIL-D) cameras systems that recreate that view inside the vehicle, although I'm not that well versed with European laws. They could also just add mirrors as has long been standard between concept and production motorcycles.
