My completely un-educated guess is that there would be many cases where the adhesive reduced injuries and a small number where it increased them. I am guessing that google employees people that will do the statistics on it but how they try to assess the net improvement would be interesting.
ā¦Or it could eject the passenger along with the adhesive layer and stick them to a nearby building in Spiderman style.

this is great because normally when I drive around running over people I lose a lot of time getting out of the car to collect my trophies!

That is exactly where I went. Picturing fly paper
Would have saved Woody Allen from having to tie the moose to the hood.
Great. Self driving flypaper.
