Only thing it would do is help prevent the proverbial hit and run. The idiot driver can’t escape the victim. But, someone who truly wants to avoid being caught could drive the stuck victim somewhere and beat him to death, if he’s not dead already, then dump the body.
In our increasingly Mad Max world, people might collect pedestrians just for the fun of it.
What an idiotic, typically liberal idea.
I’m not exactly taking this seriously for reasons mentioned in post 7 but if you DID hit someone and tried to drive them somewhere remote to beat them to death... Wouldn’t you need to drive for at least several miles with a possibly screaming victim on your hood? It’s not exactly discreet. Even a rookie would be suspicious of cars with flailing hood people.
I saw an inventor’s sketch from the 1930s, where the bumper would break open and spill pellets with the car’s tag number on them, if the car hit a pedestrian. Never caught on, but an interesting idea.
For driverless cars.
It’s in the head line.
