Australians love big cars, and it's undoing the good work of the shift to more electric and hybrid vehicles.

Australians are driving bigger, heavier, dirtier cars and it’s alarming both climate and road safety experts.

      It’s a symptom of the ride height war. When everyones giant arse car is blocking your view of oncoming traffic you either follow suit or literally risk death every time you pull out of your kids daycare.

          Wouldn’t be against it. Like a roof mounted camera.

            Drones that fly a fixed distance above/behind. Maybe tethered, so they don’t have to constantly recharge. As a bonus, I’m sure I’d be a better driver with a video game camera angle.
