I thought you were talking about GM for a second. Tell us more about how US truck/SUVs are so great for pedestrian safety, the child labor at the Hyundai plant in the south, the relentless spyware and horrible data privacy practices, the US auto bailouts, and their "innovation". I have no love for Chinese EVs, but the US domestic market has plenty of problems on their own.
You do realize American have sensors that will you if theres a kid there, right? Just because some European urbanite who has never driven a car thinks hoods are too tall doesnt mean he knows what hes talking about.
Is that why pedestrian deaths are increasing in the US and are at an all time high, while decreasing everywhere else? Pay attention to the data instead of pretending that everyone proving your wrong is a European urbanite (I'm American btw, not that it fucking matters). US vehicles are way too big and they are fucking dangerous, period.

I’m Canadian and I’m against cars in general. Active transport and public transit are better than evs for the future.
The cars the west is buildings are too obsolete, big and wasteful.
Says the guy who posted at like 2 am in Canada, but 2 pm in China.
Methinks you're not canadian.
Also active transport? Thats a biochem thing, it has nothing to do with public transit.
Ah yes, Canada, famous for having a single time zone.
Okay, 1 am to 5 am. Totally legit canadian
Huh, 14:00 in China is 06:00 UTC, which is 23:00 Pacific time. 23:00 seems like a perfectly reasonable time to be browsing Lemmy.
Yeah because Canada doesn't have night owls
