If you think through the situation you’ll realize the barriers are just ramps at normal driving speeds. So a car in the air without any human control makes the entire situation more dangerous than a real barrier or just fold over markers. Removing control from the 3000lb machine is the worst possible outcome from a system like this.
Those barriers are 6" high. On planet earth, you're not going airborn no matter how hard you hit them.
The barriers also have fold over markers with them.
Lmao, whatever you say https://youtube.com/shorts/U6dzSfpDoNA
That's not airborne. That's a bounce with wheels still firmly planted.
Looks like it slowed the car down nicely.
I would happily have that between me and a motorist who can't stay in their lane.
