No, what we can conclude is that the Prius has an even lower nose than the Aptera. Now repeat the exercise with say a Ford F-150 - which is much more common than Prius, so you're much more likely to be hit by one.
And again, why isn't some version of this a problem with every other car on the road? (Not to mention motorcycles.) Unless & until there's a law requiring all bumpers to be at the same height, there's always going to be a good chance of a mismatch.
