Re: Couple in a Car Didn't Notice They Hit and Mangled a Pedestrian
With him wearing dark clothes in the middle of the night, they might not have seen him until the very last second, if at all. On the other hand, you know he broke the windshield or some of the trim from an impact like that! I'd have lost my appetite if I'd laid eyes on him |

Re: Couple in a Car Didn't Notice They Hit and Mangled a Pedestrian
The days of plowing your car into things and not knowing whether or not it was a living person are finally over! This patent, which uses sensors in the car's bumper and engine hood, claims to be able to decide "with a high reliability" if that thing you hit was a pedestrian! It also takes into consideration changes in acceleration and whether or not the brakes were used prior to impact to figure it out. Sounds like a pretty smart system to us. With that in mind, here's a little suggestion for the inventors: When you guys roll out the next version of this thing, maybe it'd be better if it actually PREVENTED the collision. That would probably make it slightly more useful. As it stands, all this really does is keep a tally of how many vehicular homicides you've committed. ·

Re: Couple in a Car Didn't Notice They Hit and Mangled a Pedestrian
That is horrible road rash on his head, I'd like to know how far they drove with him under there. The driver needs to hand in his licence if he can't see, next he'll drag a dog or some other unfortunate animal. Maybe i little kid, worse.
