Yeah… No. Even with all the safety features in the world they still need to change the front hoods to be lower down. They still hit pedestrians all the time here in the states and they have an unbelievable high fatality rates because of those high hoods. More of the energy transfers into the person as as opposed to turning it into vertical/rolling them over the hood on other vehicles.
The same speed accident on the same size/weight pedestrian with a Honda Civic and a Dodge ram 3700 tiny dick edition will have extremely different results. The civic would probably break legs but they would otherwise be alright after rolling over the hood of the car. The huge dodge ram would just kill a person if they can’t roll over the hood because instead of spreading out that energy transfer with them rolling over the hood you are just instantly dumping into their torso/head all at once.

Safety aids are good, but proper design for when those safety aids fail or can’t work is more important.
Some people get way too comfortable because they only ever run into people whos default reaction is “flight” because they forget that there is another reaction type that some of us have called “fight”.
My little brothers learned really fast that jumpscare “pranks” on me were a bad idea because when someone jumps out at me I tend to react by striking. Probably because I had an older brother growing up that “jumped” me all the time going up so I got used to doing things that way.
