Google Patent for Sticking People to Hood of Car (http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/2016/0519/Human-flypaper-Google-s-answer-to-collisions-between-pedestrians-and-cars)
Google has this week received a patent for a fresh approach to the problem of pedestrian injuries sustained during road traffic collisions, introducing a layer of stickiness on the hood that will glue the person in place.
...
The sticky coating, hidden beneath something of an “egg-shell” layer on the hood, would adhere to any pedestrians unfortunate enough to collide with the car, thereby fixing them in place and avoiding secondary injuries that can often be sustained when people are thrown after initial impact.
...
"Manufacturers have gotten remarkably good at protecting the occupants of the vehicle, but there's been much less attention to protecting the people outside. I applaud anybody for thinking, as they should, about people outside of the vehicle."
