in the future, there will be requirements to have sensors on cars that help the driver keep control of the vehicle, right now i fear that car companies may be hoarding safety technology for a single bottom line. which is sad considering how many lives are lost to those who buy a vehicle with less safety features due to budget issues. like i get it, companies have to make money to survive but some technologies like safety for instance should be open sourced engineering projects of love. sounds hippy but if we all chip in on areas that benefit safety than we all share in the reward. imagine being on the road with your safety enhanced car only to be hit by someone who does not have the same features as you, now imagine the other car having the same features as you in a similar situation. do you think the end result of the first would produce a better outcome to the second scenario or the latter? i think it would greatly help us all if we decided today that car safety technology should be encouraged and shared instead of hoarded. you’d be surprised how many good ideas come from people without a formal education. so maybe if there was a true effort to listen to all employees for potential safety gains. even “low level” employees. i’ve seen it happy many times were a person would say a great idea and the manager or higher up would agree with their body language but you could see them not do anything about it due to a company culture mismatch which makes it impossible for people to present their ideas unless it’s on a slide deck. kinda backwards if you are being honest with yourself
