The F-150 is +1216mm (48") longer, +228mm wider, +546mm taller than a Civic. > It's 209" long and 76" tall. That's just 10" longer and taller than, say, Tesla Model X. What is the front-end height of all of these vehicles? > Pedestrian deaths in the US have risen in recent years. Concurrently, US vehicles have increased in size, which may pose a safety risk for pedestrians. In particular, the increased height of vehicle front-ends may present a danger for pedestrians in a crash, as the point of vehicle contact is more likely to occur at the pedestrian’s chest or head. I merge US crash data with a public data set on vehicle dimensions to test for the impact of vehicle height on the likelihood that a struck pedestrian dies. After controlling for crash characteristics, I estimate a 10 cm increase in the vehicle’s front-end height is associated with a 22% increase in fatality risk. I estimate that a cap on front-end vehicle heights of 1.25 m would reduce annual US pedestrian deaths by 509. * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212012224000017 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221201222...
