Yeah cars should definitely not be colliding with people. The results are horrible. Welcome to civilization with cars, where our overall strategy for minimizing the death cars to do pedestrians is based on collision avoidance rather than making car-pedestrian collisions safe.

Seriously, having been hit by a fairly rounded Impreza at low speed that still did significant damage, I’m shivering at the thought of what these edges would do to soft tissue and bone in the same conditions.

Making car-pedestrian collisions safe is a ridiculous idea failed to doom from the start. Cars are big and hard, people are small and squishy.
I think the key is to prevent cars and people from coexisting as much as possible.

Yeah by kicking cars out of places that pedestrians are in and valuing pedestrian use of public ways over car use especially in urban areas.

Sorry about that.

Holy shit you were the driver?

Well, I drive an Impreza and I did hit a pedestrian at low speed several years ago, so probably.
