> thanks to all of the cameras and sensors everywhere. Cameras are a band-aid that help a bit, but nothing beats actual clear visibility in all directions, something which newer cars lack. My partner has a newish VW and it's a menace to drive IMO. For example turning left onto our street, just when I need to see clearly if there is anyone on that street (it's a neighborhood of lots of kids) all I see is a giant A pillar and even more giant rearview mirror, blocking most of the view to the left. I have to contort in all directions back and forth to look around these obstacles which creates its own safety concerns. Visibility to the rear quarters is also terrible. On my older cars with low doorlines and thin pillars I have perfect visibility into any turn, 100x safer.
