Oooh, look, the Cybercab has a pyrotechnic pedestrian launcher.

"...The Active Hood pedestrian protection system is a safety feature that can detect an impact with a pedestrian while the vehicle is moving between approximately 15 and 32 mph (25 and 52 km/hr). When triggered, pyrotechnic actuators raise the rear portion of the hood to increase the space between the hood and the components beneath it...."
