Sure. And what about adding a giant huge metal sharp spike in the windshield pointing directly to the driver's forehead, while we're at it. That should teach people to drive safely.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoNo need to be that dramatic. Put a little one on the steering wheel aimed at your heart, primed for airbag insertion. :-P I fall on the "safer stuff = safer" side of the equation, against the "safer stuff encourages more stupid" BTW. I mean, my car has ABS and I could brake a lot later for every corner but the shuddering, squealing and G forces don't feel like a nice UX.
- mint2 5y agoAre you referring to non-collapsible steering columns? After all before collapsible steering columns presumably, following along this threads logic, the fear of being impaled made crashes non-existant. We can also remove the seat belts. Oh and 500Hp 8,000lb pick up trucks with 6ft tall front grills don’t accelerate fast enough, let’s put Tesla’s plaid tech in them so they can get to 90mph in seconds. Currently there’s far too much lag when 8,000lb trucks hit the gas to weave through traffic at 95mph. Presumable Making these updates will give people the proper fear they need in order to drive safer and reduce accidents.
