I've always driven small sedans (sentra ser back in the 90s, currently a toyota corolla). Learning to drive in 1980, it was common to be able to see traffic through the two cars in front of you because (1) most cars were small sedans, and (2) really dark window tinting hadn't become a thing. Now I'm usually looking at the rear of a SUV or tall pickup truck and can't anticipate traffic even one car ahead.

Anyway, for years I've always responded to the "I feel so much safer in my big car/truck" with "I always stand up in movie theaters because the view is so much better"

Ugh. The global regression continues, as American-style douchebaggery spreads like cancer.

Me I like fast small cars which it's crazy a few times I've almost been hit by people who are higher than me/merging into my lane.

It seems like Waymo... just fundamentally does in fact work. So if we do things with cars intended for long term systematic reform, we should do things that are optimised for the world of increasing driverlessness.

I imagine a world without drivers to be a lot safer from a driving quality perspective.

I can imagine a world in cars where, like trains, it is no longer the norm to wear a seatbelt because crashes are so rare.

What implications does that have for the interior design of cars? Does that make the perfect car bigger or smaller?
