Hell, motorcyclists lose, even with 1000lbs of bike.
Something called physics can't be bypassed. Worrying about making cars less dangerous for pedestrians is a foolish endeavor at this point. I really don't see it making that much difference when you look at the mass differential.
Deforming plastic bumpers aren't going to make much difference when they just compress with so little pressure that hard parts of the car are still impacting human bodies.
This is a uniquely American problem, and therefore something we’re doing is wrong. Why just accept that our streets are so dangerous? Don’t you want safer streets?
