    I think it might be two things. Less bugs, and more aerodynamic cars. My last car almost had zero bugs on the windshield the 10 years I had it. My car now gets a decent amount every time I go on the highway.

      I mean, its very likely we live in different places. As an aerospace engineer though, I dont remember any revolution happening to aerodynamics in the past 10 years, I even used the same model car back then and newer version more recently with minimal changes to the exterior

        I’m sure you would know better than me but it’s either that or the bugs started coming back as soon as I got my new car. Which just happens to be less aerodynamic than my old one. Because the difference was instantly noticable. I drive about 10 hours back to my hometown to see my kid and noticed the difference the first time I did the drive with this car.
