This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

      So the damage isn’t in hitting people, but the overall effect on society. Cars require buildings be more spread out to accommodate wider roads with less space for bikes, pedestrians, and mass transit. Parking spreads out buildings even more. This promotes isolated, insular individuals instead of an actual community. There is such a massive difference in human health due to the base level stress that comes from living in a car-centric hellscape many obese people lose weight despite eating more when they leave America.

          Chill the fuck out. Nobody here is blaming every individual for not waging a protracted peoples campaign against 4 wheeled vehicles, the start of this thread was ‘the general “fuck everyone else” nature of cars.’ due to the damaging effect they have on society

          And fuck any of you fat asses trying to blame cars for your fat ass.

          Once again, you’re looking at a systemic issue and blaming individuals. That might make you feel good, but it’s not useful for solving it.

            Cars and car culture in general really. The owners are usually lovely people but it’s their car that is polluting, getting in the way, injuring people, boiling the planet etc.

              Correct, your car is polluting, getting in the way, boiling the planet, and collectively, everyone’s cars are injuring people.

      Did you actually read what I wrote? Try reading it again. Keep re-reading it until you get the concept that I am not hating anyone.
