This looks extremely dangerous. It looks like it could mow down a whole sidewalk full of people if the driver made a wrong turn.

So I guess this one won't be marketed for its safety and its ability reduce traffic deaths, like the Teslas with Autopilot. Or will this also have Autopilot? That sounds even worse somehow.



Which feature allows it to mow people down better?


From Tesla's website:

EXOSKELETON

Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.

The steel exterior coupled with the flat square front seems to me like a perfect combination to kill in a collision with a person.

By the way, visiting the website I can confirm that the word "safety" is nowhere to be found.


You do know trucks with brush guards already have no problem mowing down tons of people, right?


So we should just make more?


Yes, they are a non-issue.
