An automobile's bumper is the front-most or rear-most part, ostensibly designed to allow the car to sustain an impact without damage to the vehicle's safety systems. They are not capable of reducing injury to vehicle occupants in high speed impacts, but are increasingly being designed to mitigate injury to pedestrians struck by cars. PresenceIn most jurisdictions, bumpers are legally required on all vehicles.
