    I agree but I think that car hoods should be higher. If you’re hit by one of these you’ll die slowly of organ pulverization. It’d be better to be hit in the head and die quickly of head pulverization. It’s just that the poor truck cannot reach that high so it needs to be BIGGER. Maybe stick some spikes on there too, and have an optional extended package for saw blades!

    (/s in case it wasn’t apparent)

          @match I think having a big battering ram in front of you probably makes you worry less about your own safety. If the driver were in a glass bubble in front, they may suddenly feel like taking fewer risks while driving. The safety of others is an externalized afterthought with the current design.

            I have a new idea for a car design, the front is a glass dome that’s shaped like a human head. You accelerate by pushing your face into the dome and slow by pulling your head backwards. Steering is done by moving your neck and shoulders. If you crash, the first point of impact is your face.

        What on earth are you saying? Electric motors and batteries absolutely need active cooling. And their interiors.
