@IARRCSim you'd have to make them deploy with enough margin to avoid literally shooting the pedestrian away from the car, but without making the pedestrian touch the car. I don't think it's feasible: at speed even a soft bag will hurt you and making them deploy at the right time would be hard.

Good thing most pedestrians are bros flexing and showing off their muscles in the middle of the street!!!

@PedAdvocate bumper air bags could help. They could be triggered by distance sensors on the front. Maybe they could be made strong enough to cushion accidental hits while parking too without even scratching paint. It could cost more than they are willing to spend but it wouldn't need to be as reliable as normal airbags since faulty deployment of a bumper bag shouldn't hurt anyone and lack of deployment would be no more harmful than current bumpers.

Notice how the SUV hits the pedestrian dummy fairly high on the body, throwing him out in front (possibly to get run over by the SUV). A sedan would hit the pedestrian lower down in the legs, sending the pedestrian over the top rather than out front. This is one reason why trucks and SUVs tend to be deadlier for pedestrians than cars, and gives the engineers more of a challenge to reduce the damage they do. Of course, if the vehicle is speeding too fast, any design will be deadly.
