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.
vehicles are required to have flatish noses because of laws designed for sedans to prevent cars from being wedge shaped and cutting pedestrians legs off, which applies to all sizes of car
