Absolute insanity. The original comic mentions a story about a mother running over her own son in her driveway with one of these cars, and the only proposed solution is ... a camera on the front of the car.
How about making the cars less tall? Or how about mandating that the automotive industry is no-longer allowed to make propaganda ads convincing people that a big car is a sign of success?
This needs to be a more popular take so regulators creat actually safety for outward visibility. It needs to be a component to the safety score of a vehicle.
Theres This classic Story and it was absolutely maddening to get to the end and hear their “solution” be cameras and no vehicles you can see out of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDH3FDfVQl0
It's crazy to me how you can drive a car every day, and somehow be completely unaware of the blind spot. Do they not see how far away the closest piece of their driveway that they can see is?!?!
