> City speeds are way below 50kmh (even below 30kmh in most cities!) You mean during rush hour, right? Else please tell me where, because it's certainly not in most cities.

Just please don't start adding molly-guards to your software. The concept only makes sense in the physical world, e.g. where the "important button", that you might never have to press, needs to be in reach all the time. In so

EVs are only quiet when driving very slowly. At about 50 km/h (30 mph) they are pretty much the same as ICE cars. What's the general speed limit where you are?

Thanks. This is better than the alternatives that I was aware of.

I'm not a lawyer. But it seems to be the same as accepting the terms of service of some product you use or clicking on a "Yes I'm 18+" button to gain access, isn't it? If you somehow suffer from a negative outcome,

I'm not a lawyer, but it's clear that this changes the narrative. If some technical restriction is in place (OS level age statement with apps who enforce it) and the kid circumvents that, it's easy for a company to claim that

To those who don't get it: this law is like the "Yes I'm 18+" button on porn sites. Every kid knows they have to click that button to see the porn. It's not about keeping anyone out, it's about legal liability

Blender is not the right tool for that. I think you'll be happier with an actual CAD tool like Fusion or FreeCAD.
