    Weird safety standards.
    They don’t care about pedestrians (see Cybertruck)?

      The cyber truck is safe for pedestrians. Can’t hit a pedestrian if it never leaves the repair bay for recalls.

      The safety requirements this vehicle doesn’t meet could easily be regarding hood design; highly studied and regulated to minimize pedestrian injury such as sharp angles or being pulled under the hood.
