7,080 pedestrian fatalities were reported in 2024, making up about a fifth of all traffic deaths and despite all the safety regulations, there are hardly any for pedestrians. You've got audible sounds for EVs/hybrids and reverse cameras. Honda brought me on a tour to learn about their approach to safety and one key aspect that stuck out to me was their strong interest in pedestrian safety, which started development in the 80s. Over the last 15 years, larger vehicles have become far more dangerous to pedestrians and even though the US has zero pedestrian crash test requirements, which are common elsewhere, Honda still chooses to design even it's larger vehicles like the Honda Pilot and Passport around pedestrian safety despite being exclusive to the North American market.
