  • Not to the drivers, not hard to squish a person like that though, it's probably not the biggest contributor but fast and quick to accelerate cars are often driven too quickly, they should all be boring AF to drive on public roads.

  • Of course not it's not hard to kill someone like that, but how many do? My point is that all these "easy" fixes to prevent road casualties suggested don't seem to target a significant cause of road deaths. Hence my earlier comparison to people asking for registration plates put on bikes. Or cyclists to get licences for that matter.

    I'm not at all knowledgeable about the current state (or future) of automated cars, but taking out the emotional driver from the equation seems to be a pretty valuable point in its favour. But I guess that's not going to make it into the marketing material "Come buy this car as we can't trust you not to get your knickers in a twist because someone overtook you".

    they should all be boring AF to drive on public roads.

    Let's get rid of all bikes that aren't Dutch bikes while we're at it ;)
