I don’t think many people are scrapping their cars for the safety of pedestrians. Also, personal accountability. If you’re going too fast/distracted to react in an area with the potential for pedestrian interference, that’s a you problem, not your car’s.

People need to be more mindful of the fact they’re operating multi-ton death machines, not sit back behind increasing layers of technology and text their buddy while driving because they know their “safety features” will protect them.

This is partially why I disabled my airbags - pedestrians don’t have them, why should I? Gives me more skin in the game.
