Well, for an about 1 meter tall obstacle (like a kid), some of these large SUV shapes have ~10 - 12 meters of a blind spot to spot this obstacle.

There is another small vehicle around, which usually has a lower stopping distance, and a smaller blind spot in front of the vehicle at around 7-9 meters under somewhat more adverse conditions than regular highway traffic. That's the Leopard 2 tank.

That vehicle also has less problems to find a parking spot.
