In many ways, a world built for cars has made life so much harder for grown-ups.

      More like targets for SUVs and trucks. Tesla, for all their many faults, have very small forward blind spots. 13 kids sitting in a line in front of a Cadillac escalade couldn’t be seen by the driver. 8 kids fit in the blind spot in front of a Chevy Tahoe. 16 preschoolers can stand in front of a Ford F150 without being seen. That first kid in front of these cars that can be seen is just a fraction of their head/hair. It’s absurd.

      Tesla (partially because there is no engine in the front compartment) and other smaller cars have significantly smaller blinds spots in front of them. Tesla M3 has one of the smallest. Tesla MY has one of the smallest for an SUV/Crossover and still has a smaller blind zone than most other sedans.

        fair enough

        I guess I’m content with this alliteration instead:
        targets for trucks

          I really don’t like it either of them. It sounds like you are in favor of the idea that kids should not play on the streets.

            What? No, it’s so boring now. Where have all the targets gone? How am I supposed to get 20 points?
