If your child runs in to traffic that's the exact moment you want the cars on the road to be small, light, and have short and low hoods so the drivers will see your child and stop before hitting them!

If your child decides to behave like a deer it won't matter if the cars are transparent, they're getting hit.

Even the new Chevy trucks that everyone loves to hate don't have a child blind spot that's larger than their stopping distance at any double digit speed.

That's why we should remove cars from where people want to be.
