The tech exists, and vehicles on the road already have it, yet a consortium of carmakers doesn’t want to make this lifesaving equipment standard. The reason is as old as the hills—money.

    I’m all for forcing manufacturers to implement these safety features but you damn well better make a fuckin law that says they can’t pass the cost onto the consumer.

    Getting tired of shit going up in price by a few thousand dollars every time something is added.

    Although tbf I honestly think traffic laws should be much more strict and be taken much more seriously.

      If you force them to spend hundreds to thousands installing a LIDAR system in each vehicle why can’t they get that money back?

      Enforcing traffic laws would be the cheaper solution
