I was with you until pedestrian. Lots of dead pedestrians found themselves the one doing the crumpling. And more so because it's so much harder to see them. I've had several times when it's only because I leaned way forward and back to check that I suddenly realized there's been someone walking or scooting or biking right along with my left pillar, thinking I could see them coming out into the crosswalk/intersection. (And I always back into parking places because I can see with the rear camera much better than down the front hood.)
