 Aw, he's smiling at me! (Or is that a scowl?)
This one made me laugh, although it's a little creepy (ala Stephen King's "Christine"): Apparently, vehicles like this Honda ASV-3 get into fewer accidents. Researchers have found that when people see humanlike characteristics, they notice a vehicle more quickly, which I guess prevents them from flinging themselves into the vehicle's path.

Are people less likely to throw themselves under vehicles if the vehicles look like people? What if they're people that look like vehicles? Vehicles that already have people plastered onto them? People wearing t-shirts of vehicles with people faces?
