While regulators in the U.S. have mostly ignored the threat to pedestrian safety until now, European regulators have implemented tough pedestrian impact safety measures. In fact, the European New Car Assessment Program called for pedestrian safety ratings in 2015, and as a result pedestrian impacts are now considered as part of a vehicle’s overall safety rating and star-rating program, just like frontal crashes or side impact collisions.
Another avenue that regulators are exploring is the possibility that autonomous vehicles will be able to detect pedestrians using sensors such as radar, lidar, and cameras in order to avoid impacts.
Ford has already announced that it is working on such technology. It will be some time before autonomous cars are ubiquitous, but in the meantime, there are many things that both drivers and pedestrians can do to protect themselves.
