- testplzignore 8y agoDoesn't this lead to an arms race where cars keep getting taller forever? Maybe we should solve this by making cars transparent at eye level and higher.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoPrivacy advocates won't let you have that. I suppose this could be solvable with proper road infrastructure design and actually punishing people for bad parking.
- ams6110 8y agoIn theory, parking should not be allowed that close to an intersection, and bushes/trees should be trimmed or cut down as necessary to allow for adequate visibility. I know that reality is sometimes different, especially if you live in a tree-hugging community where even pulling weeds is a sin.
- kazinator 8y agoRight; drivers should have optimal visibility around corners so they can whip around turns without slowing down. That's the best design for a livable community.
