A new NYT analysis found that anyone shorter than 5-foot-6 — about half of American adults — would frequently be knocked to the ground in front of today's average vehicle.
No surprises there. They’re more difficult to drive and have bigger blind spots. Yet, Americans love them even when they don’t need the added space.
Literally the only thing I want from modern vehicles is blind spot cameras. And you could argue that’s not particularly modern since they’ve been available for over a decade.
Otherwise, today’s new vehicles are privacy dystopias and it’s becoming quite difficult to find a decent sedan for a midrange price. I have no interest in light trucks or SUVs.
In short, we’ll be sticking with my ICE 2012 Toyota Avalon and 2015 BMW until they stop running. I would like to buy an EV to pair with our solar panels and insulate myself from the whims of the bitch baby in the White House.
But I think I basically can’t do that without giving up my privacy.

Everything sucks.
