There is an arms race to be the brightest, biggest vehicle on the road. Each driver wants to be the safest and many want a shiny high status vehicle. The result is a runaway feedback loop of ever more worse design
I would love to hugely curtail automotive design:
- of course, dim the headlights to a reasonable brightness.
- The Escalades have to go. Big trucks are for business, not taking the kids to school.
- No screens in the console.
- Absolutely no AI self-driving mode until it can be designed by the government. Allowing AI's to pilot cars based on the crappy engineering of a whiny trillionaire is nuts, yet we've allowed it. Let the government set the standards for "smart roads" to force cars to share sensor data.
- Crush every cyber truck into a cube, while you are at it.
- perilunar 11mo ago"designed by the government" got us the SLS. The "whiny trillionaire" gave us Falcon 9 and Starship/Superheavy. Not the flex you think it is.
