How is cybertruck more risky to others that your average truck?
Heavier (6,898 pounds compared to 5,540 for the F-150), lithium fire risk, inattentive drivers using the FSD
This is all on top of how dangerous American trucks have become to others
Don't forget the cybertruck body panels are basically dull knives due to being flat sheets instead of curves where they are joined.
Just look at the front "bumper". It's triangular, and made of metal. If it hits a pedestrian, unlike other cars that try to bump and deflect the pedestrian up onto the hood, the Cybertruck will cut the pedestrian in half with that angle. Also, because it's metal, there is NO give. That could even be dangerous to other cars, let alone pedestrians and cyclists.
That's just one aspect, though. You got 3 others from another commenter, making the Cybertruck tonight's biggest loser.
