Rasied this being an issue on the Marces Brown video, the finishing on those panels is pretty backyard with exposed edges of pretty sharp steel. I also think the steel is going to look like shit after a couple of years when the coatings fade off. Also bulletproof panels don't necessarily lead to safe crumple zones which doesn't bode well for them in Europe at least. A lot of design choices for people who are scared of driving, which usually makes them really bad for use in a public space.
