And just think.
We could save over a million human lives a year by enacting another federal law.
This is barely a twitch of the needle.

How many of these pedestrians were distracted by their phones before they were hit by a truck or suv?

I’ve heard electric vehicles are extremely heavy too

Stupid mother frickers should be more careful crossing the road!
Lots of states, including my wonderful home state of Oklahoma, have passed laws allowing citizens to plow through crowds with vehicles if there is a credible threat to you or your passengers.
Sounds like the gov is trying to limit damage caused to purple haired protesting idiots when they decide to try and block vehicular traffic egress for no reason.
Might be the rum talking, but if my little gas sipping Crossover isn't enough to neutralize a violent protestor attacking my vehicle, I've got a backup option or two in the vehicle and in my person at all times.

To be fair, drivers are on their phones while driving their 2-3 ton vehicles pretty regularly.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that for the first time it’s proposing a new rule setting testing and performance requirements to minimize the risk of pedestrian head injuries
Pedestrian head injuries? Well, there is a lot to unpack here. These could be caused by the SUV hitting the head of a pedestrian, but it could also be caused by the pedestrian’s head hitting the pavement.
Now, how can the government possibly begin to fix this?
1. Build cars out of foam. Even if they did, physics tells us that at speed, even absorbent foam would have enough kinetic energy transfer to send a pedestrian flying through the air.
2. Reduce the speed at which cars travel, thus limiting the amount of force that can be applied to a pedestrian.
3. Make the roads out of foam so that, when a pedestrian is hit and is moving towards the ground, a cushioned stop awaits them.
4. Make pedestrians wear concussion proof helmets. This would protect from the initial hit from the car AND the impact on the pavement. We could customize them in really pretty colors. This might work.
5. Outlaw automobiles and make us take bicycles to work. This is the Agenda 2030 solution.
Thoughts? What am I missing?

Illegals can't drive worth a damn and are killing people.

How many lives would be saved per year if we deport illegal aliens?

If they really wanted to save lives, just restrict all vehicles to 25 mph.
Nannyism just creates more incompetent people.

A world without danger definitely makes people soft and vulnerable.
And when a real threat eventually emerges, and it always will, they will be destroyed.

They could put a pedestrian cross walk every 100' and people wouldn't use them.

I know, right?
Somewhere in some alphabet federal department is a group of people trying to be relevant enough to continue their lucrative sinecure. So they have come up with this.
Meanwhile fentanyl is killing tens of thousands.
Vivek is correct. Fire 75% of federal employees and we wouldn't experience any negative effects..

Correct. Thats the end result of managing adults.
The goal should be for a population that can self manage, not a population dependent on regulators for survival.

What more can be done?
Most new trucks have censors and 360 cameras everywhere and blast red lights and an alarm if you get close to anything.
And besides, in 99.9 percent of cases, if an adult gets hit by a vehicle, it’s mostly that person’s fault. Never play chicken with a car.

Road safety doesn't bother me as much as parking. The width of store parking spaces were established before vehicles got this big. Now if a truck or SUV parks next to you and the fat driver gets out he's gonna scratch your door.
