child, you want to be a monochromist?

@prahou no, i actually quite like color, it provides great beauty

Was just complaining an hour ago that all the cars on the road are boring because they're all monochrome now :p

@pixx @prahou and when they have colour, it's always some really muted colour like a dark blue or that beige that seems to be popular with some new cars like the Dacia Duster and some Mazdas

@reiddragon @pixx @prahou

Stupid car trends:

2000s: Oversized manufacturer badges
2010s: Oversized front grilles
2020s: Muted, dull colors
2030s: Three wheels??!? (Reliant Robin, here we come!)
2040s: Flintstones cars??
2050s: No seats??
2060s: Rear wheel (only) steering?
2070s: Backward-facing driver's seat?

...actually. hear me out.

We've already started putting more and more cameeas in cars. They're getting cheaper.

Replace the windshield with a real time camera view. Have it face the interior. It'll feel like you're driving forwards.

In case of an accident, you now have way more padding without problems!!!

@reiddragon @prahou

@pixx @rl_dane @reiddragon @prahou I don't nearly trust software enough for that to ever be a possibility... lol.

Not to mention, human eyesight (with glasses/contacts if needed) is pretty stellar -- we basically see in HDR, no? That would be pretty important when dealing with bright lights.

And with windshields, when something gets on the windshield, you can lean around it and still see outside. But if something got on the camera(s).... Even if you had multiple, it would be a worse situation.

@golemwire

That's okay; since we'll have mote train and bus service and need half as many cars, it's not a huge issue if sight is blocked for a second while the windshield wipers sweep off the bugs 😜

@rl_dane @reiddragon @prahou

@pixx @rl_dane A post so nice, you sent it twice ;D

@golemwire
No, my client did :p

It thought the first one didn't go through 😅
