Those impacts made me think of Dale Earnhardt... :( Looks like promising common sense technology! :)

If each yellow cylinder had bristles on its surface, this would slow the vehicle down ?

The problem is that the vehicles are being tossed back into traffic rather than captured like the new cable barriers.

A simple guardrail that absorbs vs deflects an impact is far better. That's why cars have crush zones with a rigid cabin structure. This contraption looks like it'll create whiplash, internal organ damage or a broken neck. It's not about reducing vehicle damage, it's about absorbing impact.

#5 No, but it would clean it at the same time, especially if the impact would trigger a power wash spray. :P
