    When I was a little kid, a road trip included tons of smashed bugs on the windshield. Now, none. I wonder how much of that is improved aerodynamics of the car windshield vs fewer bugs. I was unable to open the linked article, so this will remain a mystery for now.

      I saw a meme a while ago with three panels:

      • in the first panel, insects smashing against a driving car (labeled 1990)
      • in the second panel, just the driver, but no insects (labeled 2020)
      • in the third panel, the driver is gone, it’s just the car (labeled 2050)

      unfortunately i can’t find the meme anymore.
