I love your thoughts here. I hadn't ever thought of ways you can last minute engineer a way for the vehicle to keep the pedestrian from being crushed rather than thrown up

    Thanks =) Makes me wonder how fast you could adjust the air suspension if needed. I assume that the speed it goes up/down is probably related to comfort and durability, but how fast could they change it in an emergency situation? Maybe it's not fast enough? But maybe we could alter air suspensions in the future to have some sort of emergency drop capability that would be faster.

    It would probably need a firing mechanism like airbags; that creates a vacuum in the air shocks. That would suck it down but may need to be reloaded by repair shop.
