I also hate driving vehicles like this. It’s not comfortable to know you can’t see around you properly. They’re hard to park too and get terrible mileage.
I had a gf with a full size Chevy, a Silverado or something, and basically hated driving it. We’d go mildly off roading on some dirt roads and when you were going uphill you couldn’t see the road ahead of you. Just awful. I had to stop and get out a few times to ensure we weren’t about to drive off a cliff. That never happened in the normal sized Subaru I had.
Having driven modern Unimogs, I can say with certain that you can absolutely design a vehicle to carry heavy loads, go almost anywhere, be a truly multi-roll vehicle, and have virtually no blind spot. Has virtually no bonnet though, and no chrome wheels, so won’t compensate for having a tiny dick in the same way as a giant pickup though
Don’t multi-roll Unimogs, they’re expensive!
I think the real-life photo of like a dozen kids in a line in front of the hood and completely invisible from the driver’s seat of the truck is more impacting. It’s insane. People that drive trucks like that are seriously compensating for something.
I hate Elon Musk, so I don’t want to get into a whole thing about it, but the Model 3 and Y have some of the shortest front blind spots of all makes and models of vehicle, largely because their is no engine under the hood allowing for a short and low front end. I couldn’t find any data for other all-electric vehicles, but I would assume any fully electric car would be similar.
Bicycles have zero blind spot in front.
Subarus also have pretty good visibility because of how their boxer engines sit lower than other types of engines.
Eh, aside for Foresters… They had to add a front camera IIRC
Inb4 haha none of those other than the tank can shoot, you can mount a minigun on top of it.
*Minigun sold separately
**Mounting a Minigun will void warranty
I think I’ll wait until the tank is at least a hybrid.
This makes me wonder if there could be a regulation mandating front facing cameras on vehicles where vision is obstructed when moving at low speeds. Perhaps collision alert systems are sufficient. At any rate, there should probably be something that mandates some form of compensation for the lack of vision.
Yea don’t cross post from NonCredibleDefense if you want to be taken seriously.
Just look at the lengths of the children. Bit on the tall side, no?Edit: my bad. Sorry for being snarky
Those aren’t the length of the children, it’s the length of the blind spot
Its a meme lol
Barely a head taller than the vehicle tires, so no, they are not on the tall side
If you meant “short side” consider the ages of the children and the fact that 5 and 3 year olds do exist in the real world
The pic is confusing because they used similar visual cues for vehicle “hood height” compared to child “distance from vehicle”.
