#2The Twitter post in question (https://twitter.com/wholemarsblog/status/1557112809132945408) says “(this is a serious request)”.
Fine, then let’s treat it like a serious request. Apparently someone volunteered a child (https://twitter.com/wholemarsblog/status/1557206098876194816, presumably their own child).
Has this (pseudonymous) person done a proper study workup? This is a proposal to put a child into a potentially life-threatening situation. I hope they’ve written up (and had reviewed) the rationale for why this can’t be simulated first. And I hope they’ve gotten the snapshot of the Tesla software used, for reference.
And for the person who volunteered their own child, I wonder if they should be talking to CPS right now.
The person who made the Twitter post mentioned the Bay Area. If they are serious, try going to a place like the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford, talking to the people there, and doing a study.

#3Seems easiest solution is for those wanting to test this just use themselves. After all, a squatting or sitting adult Is same height as a child, it would be the perfect substitute!

This person is Omar Qazi, he's pretty close to Elon Musk, not just a run of the mill superfan.

#7> Don’t force a kid to walk in front of your 4,000-pound metal box traveling at god knows what speed
Some consolation, according to the tweet chain, is that it'll be at 5MPH and the child wouldn't be in front of the car (just on the sidewalk approaching the road). Still not sure the need to put an actual child at any risk when the car stopping for a dummy would prove the same point if not stronger.
