Volvo, the company who could not make better cars and instead limits them citing “safety”. But sure, create fonts because reasons. They could try to be better at engineering.

- estearum 10mo agoHuh? Is the claim that Volvo is incapable of making cars that travel above 180kph?
- ExoticPearTree 10mo agoYes. Otherwise they would not limit them.
- estearum 10mo agoLol, but this is just demonstrably false? Volvo has made cars with higher top speeds than that for years?
- ExoticPearTree 10mo agoTrue, but by limiting them they showed that they can’t keep up with their competition. So they play the safety game. You know… “think of the children” version for cars.
- estearum 10mo agolol, funny guy you Competing on top speed is very very stupid You’re a BMW driver aren’t you?
- throw20251220 10mo agoYour funnier
- ThePowerOfFuet 10mo ago>the company who could not make better cars and instead limits them citing “safety”. They say: >The problem with speeding is that above certain speeds, in-car safety technology and smart infrastructure design are no longer enough to avoid severe injuries and fatalities in the event of an accident. And, frankly, they're right: you cannot engineer your way out of the laws of physics.
- ExoticPearTree 10mo agoYes you can. You have a Audi/BMW/Mercedes that do do 250km/h without any issues. Even more on some models.
- estearum 10mo agoYou have Audi/BMW/Mercedes that can crash at 250km/h in real world conditions "without any issues?" I'm doubtful.
- ExoticPearTree 10mo agoI did not say “crash without any issues”, I said “they can do 250 or more without any issues”. And they are super safe on the road, meaning they can sustain the speed for prolonged periods of time and not break in any way. My issue is that Volvo initially proposed that all cars made in Europe be limited to 180 or below. And when their idea was rejected, they started to claim safety.
- estearum 10mo agoCorrect, and I'm pointing out that your understanding of what it means to have safety issues is not correct. Requesting that all car mfgs limit their top speeds is 100% compatible with an earnest desire for increased road safety.
- throw20251220 10mo agoSo stick some screens in for good measure. And fucked electronics just to confuse the driver a bit more. Call it safe.
