Yes, and without the automatic deployment, they'd be knocked off the car, the first time it went up or down a driveway ramp, since they violate the SAE Handbook recommended practice for 'approach angle.'
So someone was thinking, as once you're 'away' from the urban environment, where ground clearance has less impact, they can get away with it, with little liability for a ground strike.
At Cd 0.2857 they need all the tricks they can get away with.
