Inclined to agree, but those giant noisy consumer trucks with multiple tires or the mini-monster truck tires seem likely to be heavy enough to matter.
It would also be a generally good idea to break this "go to the office" mentality unless there is work that can only be done there. That's some low-hanging fruit to reduce our energy use.
- adhesive_wombat 5y agoWell yes, but that's not quite the point: some externalities that might be priced into cars (or anything) might actually exist anyway. The truck thing is easy: treat them as commercial vehicles and see if people still think they're cool with a speed limiter, tachograph, mandatory maximum driving times and a more rigorous driving test[1]! And, yes, I do know about that thing with the seats in Ford vans, but there might be a billion in fines for that. [1] Which begs the question: would doing that for all vehicles reduce externalities with less usage, lower speeds and safer driving?
