stationwagons were the ideal car. they were a reasonable size with great cargo capacity. Trucks in the early 2000s were also very ideal, they handled well, had a good cargo capacity.

If Canada were to sell china enough natural gas to fully transition from coal to natural gas, total CO2 emissions would drop by something along the lines of 2.7 billion metric tons a year, just from China transitioning to natural Gas. Canada meanwhile would make billions doing this and create thousands if not tens of thousands of new jobs. ...Our Prime Minister has said that exploiting natural gas would not make financial sense.

Well, its not wrong. But it is pretty unnecessary because higher emissions and energy usage is almost guaranteed with progress. what changes is how efficient we use energy but adding anything to the scale of consumption (which kids do) will cause more of a threat to the environment than not. However having more kids means more potential for innovation to make the world cleaner, but generally because children are so energy and time sensitive to raise, takes more than it gives but everything is a tradeoff and the decision to have a lot of kids is generally not a decision you make based on financial or energy reasons. if you want a lot of kids, you're probably going to have a lot of kids unless you physically cant sustain it. However, you know what also does just this? our species existing and expanding in the first place. So bringing it up is pretty useless since if we said the same thing thousands of years ago or regulated the number of children people could have (like China), we wouldn't be here today and its possible we may even be wiped out or struggling to survive and progress. China is already experiencing these problems and thats just within our lifespan.

In order to make this point though, you do need to explain why people may see SUVs as safe in the first place. Given a sedan's ride height is... well... a sedan's, there's no reason to bring this up since, if you're driving, a big car is going to be safer than a small car, all else being equal, and that's why SUVs are a popular choice. So it's not that you're wrong here, just that it's tangentially related to the actual point, which is to say that while both options may suck, you're relatively better off getting hit with a 90's Crown Victoria than you would a 90's K-5 Blazer, but no one can really make and sell the Crown Vic anymore so everyone goes to the Blazer for driver safety.

Sounds like somebody is a Cadillac man. Anyone remember the Coup DeVille? Oh, that was a big, beautiful car wasn't it? 18ft from tail to hood, 6 and a half ft from one door to the other, 5ft tall, 300hp GM Northstar double overhead cam, four valve per cylinder, aluminum block/aluminum head V8, 295;b-ft torque, 4000lbs, oh i wish you could grunt over text but i'll try AGH AGH AGH! Amazing body designs, some of the best-looking cars in history have been Cadillacs. What in the world was this originally about? I could drool over Caddys all day.

Squeezing a massive V8 sideways into a car smaller than a crown vic just so that it gets 20 feet more per gallon is part of the reason why Northstar is so awful. There's no space for the head screw surgery needed, you need to pull the engine out.

This a bit disingenuous, is it not? The 1/3 of accidents involve an inanimate object, but what about the 2/3 then?
@Harley_Mitchelly8 ай бұрын
It's disingenuous when you remove the stat from the context. If all car accidents were with cars and you wanted to measure the safety of car riders, a global reduction in car size wouldn't produce any statistical noise. All cars are less safe, but all collisions are less forceful, and everything would come out relatively equal. But with that 1/3 being with inanimate objects, the tree, telephone pole, median, etc. are not getting smaller, meaning the driver and passengers are more at risk. "But internet commenter, what of SUVs!?!" Look at the title of the video. What's ultimately being defended here is not the SUV, but the large size sedan that would be safer to pedestrians relative to an SUV. Thanks to regulatory issues, the large-size sedan offerings don't exist while the market still does. If you want a big car, your options that used to be SUV, Truck, or Sedan are now SUV and Truck. There are now more Trucks and SUVs on the roads, threatening pedestrians more than a sedan would, because regulation soft forbids the large sized sedan from being manufactured. Being hit with a Cadillac El Dorado probably isn't going to be nice regardless, but if we're speaking relatively, I'd probably prefer getting hit with a modernized version of that over an F-250.
@jacobpinson28348 ай бұрын
The point was made after the note that studies show that since 2002 bigger cars have increased pedestrian deaths by about 50. The point being made is that 1/3 of accidents is a number larger than 50 by enough to assume that the net change to human life is positive (based on studies showing that people are less likely to die in an accident if they are in a bigger vehicle). Whether or not you agree that 1/3 of accidents is larger than 50 by enough to make that assertion when paired with the data on fatality rates is up to you.
@draighodge60398 ай бұрын
1/3 of collisions relate to drunk drivers, we never hear plans to reduce the other 2/3. Government focuses on the conditions that generate more revenue, if citizens are made safer then that is a nice side-effect.

One major gripe among many with SUV's is the unnecessary height, which not only has a higher centre of gravity making it tip easier, but the headlights shine into the eyes of others cars that aren't SUV's, like my Maxima. Paired with 85% of them having very bright white LED's instead of the traditional softer yellow of older cars, night time driving becomes a pain.
@SilverStarHeggisist8 ай бұрын
The headlight issue isn't from tall vehicles. It's how they're focuses (or not) and aimed (or not). Properly aimed and focused headlights don't blind you almost regardless of how tall they are. Also same for brightness. High beams aren't used when in traffic not because they're brighter (they're not brighter) but because they're aimed higher letting them shine further. Low beams aren't dimmer, they're aimed lower. The issue is few people know how to aim headlights or that it's necessary and they don't even know it's possible. The number of even mechanics who tell me it's not possible to aim modern headlights is staggering, it is and I have done it. A lowered car with the headlights aimed improperly will blind you just the same as a lifted truck.

Bicycle related accidents includes deaths from cars and the deaths not from cars, of course there will be more deaths from bicycles in general. For context, bicycle/vehicle collisions resulted in the deaths of nearly a thousand people in 2021. A number of those were children, and the time of day they were most likely to be killed, was 6pm-9pm, later in the evening when drivers who don’t pay enough attention at night hit them with their cars. Sorry, but the stats don’t lie, cyclists die because of arrogant and irresponsible drivers, not because bicycles are dangerous.

When I was a college student and relying on the city bus to get to classes, a well known area for a lot of vehicle/pedestrian accidents was the major bus stop downtown that was split in half by a major intersection. In order to catch my connecting bus and make classes on time I couldn't always cross with the light - leading to a lot of people running between vehicles. At some point a main hub was attached to the downtown train station, which made things significantly safer for everyone. Everybody likes to blame vehicles (or pedestrians) for accidents - but what role does locations of things play? Is it even possible to categorize those sorts of things for studies? I'm genuinely curious because more and more I see bicycle lanes right next to roads - looking indistinguishable from the road and I can't help but think that is a recipe for disaster. All it takes is for some poor sap to need to rely on a bike to get to work and miserable visibility combined with someone who doesn't know the area.

I can understand how a heavy vehicle is safer in person-to-person crashes, but I'm not so sure about person-to-object crashes. Increased weight means increased momentum, and increased momentum means more thorough pancaking when faced against an immovable object. Part of why heavier vehicles had better survivability back in the day is that they used different materials, and those materials have been largely phased out for cheaper ones that can barely compare. It turns out that nobody blames the car company when a family member dies from wrapping their car around a tree, so making it out of tin foil is the most competitive business practice.

To add to the big car kills more pedastrians nonsense. It's because big cars ARE SAFER is why more accidents occur with them. Let me explain... When the seat belt was introduced, accidents went up by a long shot. Because people felt safer in a car and thus more relaxed and thus paid less attention and drove faster. So the bigger and safer a car, the more you feel at ease. Now imagine an electric car that can drive it self and even corrects you if you drive wrong.. can you imagine how people feel safe and thus will cause more accidents??? So why do bigger but safer cars cause more accidents then a smaller car? Cause the bigger car if you crash you feel safe nothing will happen to you, so you overestimate your driving. While with a smaller car when you are on the edge, you are more paying attention to anything that could kill you thus you drive slower to take in the road ahead of you more and thus you see the pedastrian sooner then the big car driver who is going faster and not paying as much attention due to feeling safe and in control. It's a psychology thing if anything. Or in an easier comparrison: "The titanic is unsinkable so we can go almost anywhere." "Whoops we hit an iceberg!" See what I mean? It's that simple.

I'm an amateur storm chaser, and I got stuck in a prairie haboob back in April. I didn't end up going off the road or hitting another car because my SUV was too heavy for the wind to do much more than try to flip it (also my foot was already hovering over the brake when I saw the dust cloud approaching). While it is true that the higher profile of my vehicle means that I'm more likely to roll if a strong wind hits me broadside when I'm going highway speeds, it's equally true that when I'm driving slowly through a storm, I'm LESS likely to be flipped and rolled, or even straight up tossed, because my vehicle is heavier. And if I DO roll, I'm much more likely to survive compared to a compact car. A boy and his family recently survived a rollover in a truck that was tossed by a tornado. He walked away without a scratch, and his parents lived because of the sturdiness of the truck (granted, they both suffered multiple broken vertebrae).

The irony is that it's an arms race to the big, F-off SUV/Truck that people can buy and that is far harder to regulate away due to the legitimate safety things they address... like bad weather performance that a compact never could fulfill. Ride height and 4WD are necessities for someplace like Wisconsin come wintertime. The crux of the issue is that the land yacht *sedan* has been outmoded entirely, and this forces people into either less desirable, less safe-to-drive compacts, or less fuel-efficient, less safe-to-pedestrian SUVs/Trucks, and in both cases makes the car market worse off by creating this dead zone of service people want to be in but companies cannot cater to.

I tried to reverse it towards a flower bed so that I could turn around in my own yard to start the trip. It applied the brakes and disengaged the throttle linkage. I hit the accelerator and nothing happened. Because it was afraid I would hit some multicolored weeds. I got to the hotel that night and reached for the trunk without remembering to unlock the trunk (or front doors) first. I'm no muslce man, but a weak tug overrode the trunk latch, opened the trunk, and did not set off the car alarm. I slammed it shut and immediately replicated the problem. They can have my shitbox '08 HHR after I trade them a belly full of lead. AND I HATE THAT HHR!
