And what would you test for?

How many feet does it take to stop from 50 MPH?
150
200
250
all of the above
Would we test that they can still parallel park?

Demonstated is that many cars have such poor visibility that people are now routinely backing over other cars - and kids.

Any car that cannot see something 2 feet off the ground only five feet behind the car should have no reverse gear. That would be a more practical solution.
