Radically new and stupid and should be illegal design. It’s a death machine for pedestrians.

No more a death machine than a Cadillac Escalade or a Dodge ram truck. There's lots of criticisms you can make about the cybertruck that are exclusive to the cybertruck but this isn't one. This complaint is about bad drivers. The rise of all the driver assist technology is enabling bad drivers to believe that they are better than they are. This is across vehicle brands.

The existence of other death machines that should not be legal does not undermine the parent's point that this death machine should be illegal.

I don't think they said only the cyber truck should be illegal.

You're trying to say the machine itself is the problem, when it's not the machine it's the operator. You're trying to shift blame here.

The machine itself and the operator are a problem. It is an unnecessarily dangerous machine and the operators do not operate them safely.

Aren't all trucks? Wouldn't the sensor suite and auto-braking make it maybe somewhat safer? Is this something that gets tested for by car manufacturers?

Also, the hood + "grill" is significantly lower. A pedestrian would bounce (although uncomfortably) instead of hit by a wall and run over like most other trucks / SUVs.

As long as you aren’t sliced in half by the sharp corners.

In Europe for one that are regulations that make sure that cars are as safe for pedestrians as possible.
