Setting aside that there are plenty of viable alternatives to building a city that requires cars, our cars also have plenty of room to get safer with no loss of utility. We really could get by with 95% fewer ginormous pickups, and cars don't need to be able to go >80 mph.
- jojobas 3y agoIf you want a car that does 0-60 in less than 20 seconds (and you do) it will also go >80. Wearing a motorcycle helmet in a car would instantly make them a lot safer.
- bagacrap 3y agoI feel like it would be pretty easy to artificially limit cars to 75mph. Also I drove a car that took 15 seconds to get to 60 throughout high school and it was fine. Wearing a motorcycle helmet inside a car does nothing for pedestrians, cyclists, etc. Also I would argue there's a loss of utility because it probably interferes with peripheral vision and messes up your hair. But sure, make people wear a helmet, fine by me. The point is that there's room for easy improvement in car safety, and a helmet counts, I suppose.
