    JONY: There are signs that Americans may be wising up. A survey conducted last year by YouGov, a pollster, found that 41% of Americans think that SUVs and pickup trucks have become too big; 49% said such vehicles are more dangerous for other cars and 50% said they endanger cyclists and pedestrians. Researchers are raising the alarm. Since 1989 the IIHS has regularly published the driver-fatality rates of popular car models. In 2023, for the first time, the group also estimated the rate at which cars kill drivers in other vehicles. Policymakers are starting to take notice too. “I’m concerned about the increased risk of severe injury and death for all road users from heavier curb weights,” Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, said in a speech last year.

    But the odds that carmakers curb their heaviest, most dangerous vehicles are slim. American car-buyers value safety, but mainly for themselves, not society as a whole. And although regulators are tasked with protecting consumers, they rarely do so at the expense of choice, no matter how deadly the consequences. “There may be a certain point where you say, ‘You know what, passenger vehicles shouldn't be weighing this much,’” says Raul Arbelaez of the IIHS’s Vehicle Research Centre. “But it would, politically, be really hard to gain any momentum on that.” Finally the shift towards electric power is likely to increase their weight further, as battery-powered vehicles tend to be heavier than their internal-combustion equivalents.

    “Manufacturers are playing by the book,” says Mark Chung of the National Safety Council, a non-profit. “They’re making a business decision, and it’s a rational decision. Unless they’re forced to think differently, they’re not going to. So I think this is where our federal partners really need to step up.”

    Cert vem ostre hrany.

    Hlavni je videt. Po ctvrti nam jezdi borec s nejakym Dodge truckem, nalestena vybarvena prerostla krava, predni maska je tak kolma a obrovska ze na pet metru nemuze videt decko na silnici. Vzhledem k tomu ze Munro tvrdi ze cybertruck je auto s vybornym vyhledem, tak bych byl radeji kdyby si ten blbec poridil cybertruck s ostryma hranama nez ten debilni Dodge. Protoze jestli nejake dite prejede, tak je jedno jak ostre ty hrany jsou.

    V Brne byl pripad kdy ridicka SUV mercedes prejela decko. Ta baba mela tak omezeny vyhled, ze nevidela celych 9 metru silnice pred autem.

    ANDY_WARHOL: na jednu stranu chapu paleontologa, protoze homologace na veterana, ktery novy nevznikaj (novejsi veterany ji jiz maji), je neco jinyho, nez homologace na novej seriove vyrabenej vuz a problem by se mel resit driv, nez nastane.

    Na druhou stranu chapu i tebe, protoze tohle monstrum si do prahy koupi leda dement s prachama, kterych je omezeny mnozstvi.

    A tem bude stat 90% casu v garazi, protoze se to do cz provozu proste nehodi.

    PALEONTOLOG: argument je že to bude marginální problém, ten tě také nezajímá. Takže spíš bych to tak typnul, že si nějaký zaslepeny nebo zasekly, ale hraješ si na nějakého spravedlivého. Což je celkem srandovní.

    PALEONTOLOG: pro me to nebezpecne nebude, tak se tim zabyvat nemusim :) toto auto si urcite nekoupim a ze bych se s nim potkal v provozu, to si myslim ze hrozi tak podobne jako vyhrat ve sportce. tve rozcilovani se tedy nechapu...
    porad je toproste tak marginalni nebezpeci, ze to nema smysl resit.
