Does the Toyota e-Palette have any kind of underrun (underride) protection system?<p>The esthetic front end seems designed for running over stuff. <a href="https://www.startyourimpossible.com/en-us/mobility" rel="nofollow">https://www.startyourimpossible.com/en-us/mobility</a><p>Trucks have extended bumpers and bars (front, side, back) to prevent stuff from going underneath.<p>Trains had cattle scoops.<p>School buses have crossing arms. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_crossing_arm" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_crossing_arm</a><p>Also reminds me of exercise machines eating children. Most recently Peloton's lack of safety guards.<p>Foreseeable, preventable, unforgivable.<p>Looks nice though.<p>--<p>Edit: Hmmm.<p>Am now unclear which vehicle is involved. Toyota's own website states e-Palette is a prototype. <a href="https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/e-palette/5703/e-palette-main-v3_eb53199fc6ffdd4d8984cbf074ed2e16.png" rel="nofollow">https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/e-palett...</a><p>Whereas the blurb for the APM <a href="https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/accessible-people-mover/6207/APM_Transparent-cropped_eb53199fc6ffdd4d8984cbf074ed2e16.png" rel="nofollow">https://www.startyourimpossible.com/imager/products/accessib...</a> says:<p><i>APM (Accessible People Mover) is a mobility vehicle designed expressly for use at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. With the vision of "Mobility for All," APM offers a "one-last-mile" solution that helps transport as many people as possible to events and venues, including athletes and staff related to the Games as well as all types of visitors.</i><p>And here's their PR for the games:<p><a href="https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/28866860.html" rel="nofollow">https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/28866860.html</a><p>And the APM definitely looks more safe.
