    the safety improvements in cars for a long time were about protecting you from the other maniacs on the road, not from yourself. i could be convinced that lane assist and things like it cause complacency, but we should have seatbelts and crumple zones

      this is true much in the same way that designing roads “safer” for cars, e.g. making them wide as fuck with no obstacles, does pretty much the opposite of that and it gets way more dangerous for everybody involved

      You want everyone to drive safely? Install a pike on the steering wheel. Guarantee you no one’s risking shit anymore
