All these children are invisible to the driver…

Fuck all those cars!!! Put them away to hell, not to earth. They are too big for all - except for small egos. But for small egos is therapy much better.

    Or we could, you know, follow previously established methods of building vehicles that make pedestrian death and dismemberment less likely.

    No, no, no. Americans need them this way apparently for some inexplicable fucking reason.

    So instead of just designing them with pedestrian safety in mind to begin with, we are just gonna slap on more fucking band-aids (like cameras) that do fuck-all.

      I saw a YouTube explaining the giant cars in the US have to do with the government making a big equation that car manufacturers have to follow.

      The equation calculated the weight, size, gas mileage, etc, and the only way they can make the cars pass the equation is to make them giant. The equation backfired and now we have giant cars.

      Band-aids like cameras that do fuck all? Cameras are a very quick, simple, and obvious solution to this specific problem. There’s a reason that all new cars have backup cameras nowadays. Perfection is the enemy of good and all that.
