I’m going tho have to disagree on these points. > 1. the car on the left is 3x safer than the car on the right. It might be marginally safer for the driver, but due to reduced visibility, it is less safe for pedestrians and cyclists. Some carmakers take this to an extreme: https://i.redd.it/5b2ewauetf191.jpg https://i.redd.it/5b2ewauetf191.jpg Here’s another example: https://i.redd.it/7vgq17y69m691.jpg https://i.redd.it/7vgq17y69m691.jpg. The fact that the front car is street legal is, frankly, a policy failure. (The Mini is less egregious, of course, but having two of them highlights the differences more than having two different cars.) > 2. the car on the left actually does have comparable fuel efficiency (feel free to google for fuel efficiencies of the original minis) > 3. the car on the left is better for the environment due to more stringent (e.g.) EPA standards for production vehicles (well at least until trump rolled them back...) Don’t you think that if we made modern cars the size of the right one, their fuel efficiency and environmental impact would be even less? Is it not a colossal shame that in 50 years, we have not improved on these parameters?
