You would need to rollback safety standards to achieve this.
One of the reasons vehicles are so big now is to allow passengers to survive diagonal and side impacts and rollovers. If it was all front and back collisions then vehicles could get smaller again.

- Lance_ET_Compte 3y agoThese huge vehicles are deadly to pedestrians and cyclists. They also require more space for parking that simply places things further away and makes our cities less friendly for pedestrians and cyclists. Oh, and they are melting glaciers and polluting our environment.
