I'm not pro Cybertruck. But people collectively losing their mind over it is ridiclous. Other trucks are more common and more unsafe. I have heard 100x more people making Cybertruck jokes but almost never about actually improving safety in any signifcant way. Farming browny points by with low-hanging anti-Musk stuff seems to be more important then anything else for most people. There is a whole cottage industry of anti-Cybertruck stuff all over the internet, if all those people put their energy into actually explain how to actually improve safty, we would be much better off.

> I have heard 100x more people making Cybertruck jokes but almost never about actually improving safety in any signifcant way. That's a weird kind of blame shifting. 1. Many things that ought to change have already been laid out well in advance. Things like defined limits on how "sharp" the outsides can be or having a crumple-zone front instead of a pedestrian meat-tenderizer. This is especially true in jurisdiction where those recommendations are requirements, and the vehicle cannot be legally sold. 2. Many critiques have obvious solutions like "don't do the dumb thing" or "do it the normal way." 3. Improving safety is normally the job of the car manufacturing company, why would Tesla be any different? 4. If your want very detailed engineering fixes from the internet, tell Tesla to open-source their manufacturing process and pay people for time.
