Post An RX8 is good to get run over by?

Found this link this morning.

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

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!
