Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.

Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.

No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.

I very much doubt the fediverse is in anyway representative of mainstream Australia.

Yes the road toll from emissions is thought to be higher than from crashes. https://www.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/4498161/Expert-Position-Statement_Vehicle-emissions_FINAL.pdf

Not sure if that message resonates with the average land cruiser driver though.
