Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won't survive the hit I guess?

Yeah, I'd assume that a 75mph impact between human/deer and a vehicle is going to go badly regardless.

There is a lot of evidence that a low front with a significant upward slope (where a struck pedestrian is pushed up over the vehicle) is much safer for pedestrian collisions, but for quite awhile now the style has been flat or aggressive grills. Far from just the cyber truck that's guilty of this
