Of course this will stop pedestrian accidents. Seeing one of those monsters staring directly into your soul as it approaches at 60+ miles an hour is enough for anyone to keep a healthy distance away.
In all seriousness though, it probably helps grab the attention of people more than the front of a normal car alone just having large white visible eyes. Humans are great at face detection.
