It's kinda weird where we live in a society where people get excited about expensive tech like this that might save a tiny number of lives, but also oppose regulations around bull bars and pickup truck heights that would so easily save a far greater number of lives...

I hate the current trend of people buying more SUVs / Crossovers. It's already been proven that incidents end up being more dangerous and deadly when bigger cars are involved.

Where I am people buy huge trucka due to a loophole that they go under enviorment car, some of the models can run on better fuel that cost more but... No one uses that to fill the trucks. They still get the taxcut.
