The fact that American trucks and SUVs don’t have forward facing cameras that activate at slow speeds to prevent driving over kids hidden in their insane blind spots while navigating parking lots and driveways should be criminal. The headlight situation as well (Europe is actually doing something, fwiw). We also had external airbag tech to prevent pedestrian deaths decades ago and with modern vision systems they could be incredibly cheap and highly reliable today, but its not criminal to ignore that tech.
They even fought seatbelt requirements for gods sake. The auto industry are depraved. Let’s not give any of them a pass.
Edit: I can’t help but add that everything above is so damned cheap it would be a rounding error on a vehicles manufacturing cost and wouldn’t impact their shitty “design goals and styling” one iota. I’m not even suggesting changing the shape or size of them here.
That would require the muskrat to experience a moment of self reflection and admit he was wrong about something.
