I used to drive a BEV to work early mornings - 6am typically. I'd see runners with headphones/earphones who were clearly not looking when they crossed at junctions. I quickly learned to anticipate that and always prepared to stop or even came to a standstill before they saw me. It was easy and quick, especially with regenerative braking on full.
Kids were better - they could hear the low-speed whining that the car put out below 20mph.
Yes, anecdata. It would be good to know age of victim / activity / whether the vehicle had the pedestrian warning thing.
Also, many more cars now have collision detection. How does that feature or not regarding pedestrians?
Yep. There's a well known firm here in Leeds, UK whose practices lead a lot of folks to say 'ugh, no thanks', me included. There's another firm that makes bogus cellphone towers for spying on protestors who I'd not work for.
Apart from that, the usual - credit firms, gambling companies.
Again, more anecdote than science but juggling with slightly weighted balls works for me. It's also a fantastic activity to fit into my pomodoro five minutes as it gets me out of the chair and moving around to retrieve the juggling balls from under my desk.
