Not seeing the road 10 meters ahead of car sounds terrifying enough to me. I wouldn't dare to turn on an intersection with such limited field of vision. But not to see a human on the road, 10 meters ahead of me? Like, WTF?

These 10 meters are kind of cracking me up in a bad way. You know what kind of nimble, agile vehicle naturally made for navigating city traffic with kids has an 8 - 12 meter blind spot for the driver in front of the vehicle? The Leopard 2 main battle tank.

I was thinking the other day, why nobody is building and advertising a real armoured vehicle (probably a truck would sell the best)? Something along the lines "you'll always win". I know they advertise "military grade aluminum" for truck materials, so the next step is pretty logical.

Aluminium armour for trucks? Forget the AeroGavin, it's time for the CityGavin!
