A closer look

Automobile safety regulations require modern cars to be incredibly massive compared to their older counterparts to cram in all the heavy protective roll cages and impact crumple zones. The direct result of mandating all this heavy-duty life-saving armor is that newer vehicles have terrible outward visibility, forcing manufacturers to stick annoying cameras and sensors everywhere just so you do not accidentally crush your neighbor's mailbox. We systematically engineered cars to be so ridiculously thick and safe on the inside that the driver can barely see the outside world without relying entirely on a series of aggressively beeping digital screens. It is a fantastic paradox where we made the metal boxes completely indestructible for the occupants, but fundamentally turned them into blind, bloated urban tanks that pose a massive threat to any unlucky pedestrian walking by. Essentially, we cured the disease of fatal car crashes by simply making the cars large enough to confidently win a fight against a small building
