      Mercedes are so low to the ground you’d only have a chance of running over a baby laying down. If those are 21” wheels then literally a 6 month old would be above the hood. https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/who/GrChrt_Boys_24HdCirc-L4W_rev90910.pdf

        It’s a prototype, those look more like 30” wheels.

          OK so a one year old, who still wouldn’t be walking outside by themselves.

          Edit: though i doubt they’re 30”. It’s an EV with solar panels. The size of the wheels will really matter for efficiency.

            It’s a prototype. They are made to look cool, not functional. Like typical camera wing mirrors which all prototypes seem to have, which no production car will ever have. Hell, this car doesn’t have any mirrors on it, or lights that pass regs for any country.

              Literally the genesis evs have camera wing mirrors lol. Camera mirrors are illegal in the United States so we’ll never have them here, but they are available in the rest of the world.

      Mercedes does, for a while now, have automatic braking if the car detects obstacles.

        All cars are required to have automatic braking now.
