Good point about the lack of visibility… my usual fear is that every new requirement becomes an excuse to only make expensive and heavy, tall monstrosities, but a camera and screen are very cheap today so those are more than okay I guess, just like seatbelts and airbags.

Thanks good to know

Woah hold on so a backup camera is also a legal requirement? That sounds a bit too much hand-holding for me jeez. (But I’m used to old cars and motorcycles)

Ok looked it up, yup since May 2018! Interesting

Many car “keys” are wireless tokens nowadays (tbf I’m not sure of the security compared to traditional keys, I only heard some brands like Kias were very easy to steal in the last few years).

Mostly we want a million buttons with tactile feedback, I’m with OP! I would also like an EV “econobox”: a sensible shitty boxy lightweight car with a small LiFePo4 battery that charges fast. Spend 100$ more dollars on the charger and cooling goddammit, or make THAT upgradable!

Those plastic bottles that hold diluted acids and alcohols are usually PP (polypropylene) or HDPE (high density polyethylene) or similar plastics that are a lot tougher than thin, flexible plastic bags (LDPE, PET) and I imagine balloons too

Why waste word when 👍 do trick?

This one feels worse to me ahahah
