- giraffe_lady 4y agoSemis are already explicitly banned or de facto excluded from most urban interior streets, where pedestrian and cyclist safety, and so vehicle weight, is a particular concern. The world is not all highway.

But I would expect most of these cars should have automatic breaking and pedestrian detection — perhaps add some external pedestrian airbags and it will be a wash?
