  • My understanding is that it has to do with updated rollover safety requirements that came in in the mid-late 2000s. They have to be able to support something like 2.5 times their weight on the roof, making all of the pillars thicker. Combined with additional overall weight from other crash regulations, this means that A-pillars are yet bigger. Cars have become much safer for occupants at the expense of safety for pedestrians, who are not part of the equation as pedestrians are subhuman.

    You don’t have to worry about that too much, the mighty chinese industrial economy will steamroll the american scam economy before they’re able to implement their plans worldwide. Now, we in western countries might end up trapped in a prison society where all information is controlled by LLM chatbots, but it won’t be the fate of the whole world.
