You could only enable the lowering in pedestrian heavy areas (city) assuming they legit can't tell a moose apart.

You aren't going to find many moose in downtown NYC ;)

Again, nothing to do with shape, this would be a good feature for any air suspension vehicle that can detect a pedestrian.

Edit: And I'm not sure we need to worry as much about city deer, they are small enough.

Edit: Also if they CAN detect a moose, they should do the opposite and raise the front.
