It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Reducing the height of the hood would also significantly reduce fatalities. It's hilariously sad that they're testing this system on an SUV, where the kids and shorter adults hit by this thing won't make it to the windshield.

Put the engine in the middle or back of the car's frame and move the driver all the way to the front in a glass bubble where they can't use the excuse that they didn't see what was in front of the car. Also if they go to fast and hit something, they get hurt immediately. Risk to the driver will make them more cautious.
