Has anyone noticed the bumpers on the newer cars?  There are none.

Instead the old reinforced chrome-plated bumpers have been replaced with a piece of plastic or aluminum which crumples with the slightest impact and seems non-resistant to any impact.

In some of my previous cars when I got hit on the bumper, it was just a very slight scratch at the least. When I got hit in the car I had previous to the one I have now, and at a very low speed, the whole bumper fell off and the fender was quite damaged also.

Who was the genius who designed this new type of non-bumper which is very expensive to repair?
