A self-test showed, that is possible to run against the car without any injury or bruise. The shape of the bumper force a kinematic movement, if a pedestrian comes in front of the car. The pedestrian are forced to roll over the car.

That's what I was I thought. They are a bit stupid in some aspects and I was just stressing that it could be a pain in the ass to do the homologation (which, by what you're saying, it is :/ ). Anyway, it's good to see some innovation.
