        Can’t report hitting a pedestrian if you never saw or felt the pedestrian you hit

      Really? Everything I’ve heard about pedestrian safety suggests that its better to go onto the hood rather than be pushed down and go under the wheels.

      It seems like this design would do exactly that, in addition to creating a blind spot directly in front of the vehicle. Though I suppose these trucks are so tall you’re likely to go under anyway.
