Is there at least open source simulation data?
Car mesh + virtual crash test dummy as pedestrian -> graph of head trauma vs car model
I'd be surprised if it's not already a thing.

It's a device. Why does it not just turn off with the car?

Definitely good in theory, but I vaguely recall hearing about technical issues with them. Was that a thing?
