To be honest, I really hate the US highway styleguide. The signage, road lettering etc they have in the UK and some of Europe is infinitely better & more clear. As well as general road layout and design. It probably goes a long way to e

Traffic jams usually have some sort of sign, a slowing of traffic, a stream of brake lights ahead. It's a different situation when someone is slamming on their brakes from highway speed with nothing ahead of them.

On a race track, sure. But the default safety appliances when driving on normal roads are your seatbelt and airbags. They're analagous to bike helmets here.

Seatbelts absolutely do not just protect you "a little". I've seen people flung from cars, having their limbs ripped off in the process, whilst the person sitting next to them (with a seatbelt on) was completely fine, save a

It renders completely fine on my Linux machine as well as my Windows one, and is fine on Android as well. And the screenshots look perfectly normal. I'm not sure what your particular issue is but maybe make a bug report?

Regular fission plants take 5+ years to construct. So in the next 2-3 years you're expecting this technology to become mature enough to roll out and hook up to the power grid?
