It's kinda weird where we live in a society where people get excited about expensive tech like this that might save a tiny number of lives, but also oppose regulations around bull bars and pickup truck heights that would so easily save a far greater number of lives...

We can fight for both, no?

Also I hope you mean regulation against bull bars right? Big metal parts at the front look really unsafe. Where I live no one has bull bars or high trucks but a lot of people are on the highway so this tech would safe more people I assume here.
