bloopernovaOh good, yet more high fronted vehicles.
I applaud Kia for making electric cars, but I wonder how much visibility the driver will have immediately in front of them?
FollowupquestionFWIW, designers would likely forgo the high front but there are pedestrian impact standards that require a high front to pass. At low speeds, perhaps there’s a front camera to assist in parallel parking?
This idea jumped the shark long ago. It’s true if you’re talking about going from a Miata to a Civic. It’s not true extrapolating up to modern SUVs that are like a brick wall at the front. Trucks would be super pedestrian friendly if that was the case, but instead they keep killing people as obviously it hit a point, somewhere around probably an ID3, where it gets more dangerous again.
