In case you had hit, a deadly accident would be more likely because of the SUV's
weigh. A 4000 pounds vehicle contains has twice the energy of a 2000 pounds
vehicle at the same speed. Just another example of inequality in face of death
between rich and poor.
- hex4def6 4y agoThe solution, obviously*, is to just drive faster if you're in a light vehicle, to match the SUV's kinetic energy. If they're going 40 MPH, you just need to go ~60MPH, thanks to the v^2 in the kinetic energy equation. *(/s)
- TeMPOraL 4y agoEquality of outcome, that's indeed the modern western take on things. That v² in there also means that, if enough people follow your advice, we'll eventually start seeing SUVs equipped with reactive armor.
- chowells 4y agoNo one reasonable wants blind equality of outcome. They want an to understand the cause of the differences, and they want that cause to be moral. That's far different from proclaiming either that there is no problem or that outcomes are to be measured blindly.
- dbspin 4y agoAn arms race of sorts is inevitable. Your reactive armour will be worthless in the face of my active measures. Innocent casualties are inevitable, but they're the price we pay for freedom.
