There's diagrams that show the visual impairments such trucks have. They are worse than semi trucks and even an Abrams tank.

I don't get how these people even feel comfortable driving something where you can't see the road that's in front of you for 10+ meters out. I just wouldn't feel safe, there could be any kind of obstruction you can't see on the road from 10m away but will still fuck up your day and/or life.

If they thought about things and came to good conclusions afterwards, they probably wouldn't be driving this kind of car to begin with. The people who are driving it are probably not good thinkers.

I have one of these out of necessity. I don’t understand getting one as a daily driver for someone to go to their office job and pick up groceries.
