That has nothing to do with the conversation. It’s clearly about seeing over the hood, which is a very common complaint about many American style SUVs and trucks. In this case your point is even more irrelevant, because low to the ground cars have higher survival rates since the average human goes over the vehicle rather than under it.
It’s a prototype. They are made to look cool, not functional. Like typical camera wing mirrors which all prototypes seem to have, which no production car will ever have. Hell, this car doesn’t have any mirrors on it, or lights that pass regs for any country.
Literally the genesis evs have camera wing mirrors lol. Camera mirrors are illegal in the United States so we’ll never have them here, but they are available in the rest of the world.
Or the surprised looks of the children as I run them over.
Mercedes are so low to the ground you’d only have a chance of running over a baby laying down. If those are 21” wheels then literally a 6 month old would be above the hood. https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/who/GrChrt_Boys_24HdCirc-L4W_rev90910.pdf
I’d rather things were kept low than the ridiculous SUVs and trucks with 40" high fronts.
I’m concerned you don’t understand what happens when a moving, 5,000 lb vehicle strikes a human of any age, laying down or standing up…

It’s a prototype, those look more like 30” wheels.
OK so a one year old, who still wouldn’t be walking outside by themselves.
Edit: though i doubt they’re 30”. It’s an EV with solar panels. The size of the wheels will really matter for efficiency.

Mercedes does, for a while now, have automatic braking if the car detects obstacles.
All cars are required to have automatic braking now.
Sounds like you’re just a shitty driver
Takes skill to hit those little fuckers. They move quick.
ha, ha…true tho
