Doesn't fix braking distance, doesn't fix the increased chance of serious injury if a collision with a pedestrian occurs.

Doesn't fix braking distance, doesn't fix the increased chance of serious injury if a collision with a pedestrian occurs.
- protocolture 4mo ago>auto braking The thing literally starts braking before my brain can process whats happening.

- protocolture 4mo agoOk and? My vehicle is as safe or safer than older lighter vehicles currently permitted on the road. Why should the goalposts run off into the distance? Surely I have now met the common definition of "safe". At what point is it enough? This just brings back to Jealousy or some kind of Tall Poppy syndrome again.
- rjrjrjrj 4mo agoA larger vehicle is more of a hazard to others than a smaller vehicle, and the safety features you describe don't change that. But, as you're in Australia, I'm not sure your definition of "large" matches the story's or mine. North America has a whole class of huge ass vehicles that are relatively rare elsewhere in the world. Are you driving an Escalade, F-150, or similar?
