Comparing pedestrian safety between electric and internal combustion engine vehicles - Nature Communications Using UK road safety data, the author finds that electric vehicles are no more dangerous to pedestrians than conventional cars. Specifically, they do not appear to cause more collisions or more severe injuries. However, it’s observed that hybrid vehicles show higher pedestrian collision rates, although the resulting injuries tend to be less severe. https://go.nature.com/4pXBP4A
