Yes, you read that correctly, less than human. Explains a lot, actually. Interestingly, cyclists wearing helmets were perceived as less human compared to those without helmets. Moreover, cyclists wearing safety vests without helmets were perceived as the least human.

    The study also found that dehumanization was more strongly associated with visible safety gear, such as helmets and vests, rather than obstruction of the hair and eyes. Additionally, the perceptions of dehumanization varied among respondents based on gender.

Yoda as the CEO meditating on force innovations in his office or whatever.

    So yea basically
