Oh no. What a waste of power and space. For leaving it roughly 21 hours on average in one spot.
It's a sort of arm's race. People don't feel safe in cars anymore with all these predators out on the roads, so they get bigger vehicles to feel safe again
And it will just keep going. Soon everyone will drive tanks. ๐
Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.
Yes. Like a heavy armor plated Lamborghini.
And having it being used by one person without any gear or load at all for 98% of the time.
Seriously 3 hours every day usage of your car is extremely high, especially in Europe, where things are not so remote. I would be very surprised if many drivers have that mileage or usage of their cars.
Last I have read it was using the car for 2 hours a day for work. But thinking about people buying groceries and doing entertainment related stuff must also contribute some minutes, so I was leniently adding an hour.
