New Sprinter Van to Offer Electric Drive
What does a Euro electric van have to do with pedestrian safety or GM reducing their automotive line?
I was pointing out that that the new Cybertruck design (which you posted) may cause more pedestrian injuries than typical designs and even GM's move to more Trucks and SUV's may not be good for injuries. In the case of vehicles that ride higher with more chassis clearance, there is a better chance of a pedestrian getting caught underneath.
