Euro NCAP | Pedestrian safety

Pedestrian-vehicle crashes are responsible for more than a third of all traffic related fatalities and injuries worldwide. Many crashes involving pedestrians occur in urban areas where cars drive at relatively low speeds. The severity of injuries can be significantly reduced if appropriate countermeasures are taken on the vehicle front-end. Euro NCAP uses standardized tests that simulate the most common pedestrian-vehicle crashes to assess the level of pedestrian safety.

In my country a lot of people take their own sweet time and cross without looking at the oncoming traffic at all and even have their backside facing the traffic, they'll just assume the drivers won't hit them.......................And some even cross just under the pedestrian crossing bridge........................­.

Speechless....................­..............................­..

how about a dumb pedestrian sensor and a machine gun attached to it?

that would be more suitable in terms of natural selection

you're not going to interfere with that are you?

Windscreen airbags?! Are you kidding me?! I never expect the car to stop when I jump in front of me. I always pass on the other side when I'm 100% sure I'll have enough time to do it. As for the windscreen airbags? What if you hit something light that was on the road - some plastic container - at around 100 kph? How should I drive with that sh*t covering my windscreen and not crash into something else?!

What kind of protection would those types of airbags for the pedestrians have against the elements? Seeing as how water gets under that part of the hood.
