As much as I hate Elon Musk, I prefer for my own sanity to believe that it wasn’t designed to kill pedestrians, it’s just that Elon is such an idiot that his version of The Homer was built without even considering them because that front just looked cool to Elon and he said they had to make it that way.
Accident… avoidance?
The thing is designed to dismember pedestrians, why would they want to avoid accidents?

This is almost certainly true, but it doesnt mitigate the actual fact that the thing /is/ a nightmare for pedestrians.
At some point, someone on an engineering team or a corporation generally has to be… you know, responsible for the thing they designed?
At least thats the theory anyway. In practice this doesnt appear to matter if you have enough money and can lie and bribe people.
