The letter is from 30 associations among which the one of the website I linked. Try to contact them

Also I drive a van and I think it’s cool since obviously I’m cool and so my car kinda has to be, too, so I’m not sure if I agree with your first point

sorry, my mistakes. Vans can be absolutely cool. I think the electric one from VW is extremely cool. It’s just not the kind of cool that people with fragile masculinity would desire

In Copenhagen, meteorologists predict the city will receive 30% more rainfall by the end of this century.

Oh shit

EuroNCAP suggested to try to change something, apparently they are not catching in their test, but they acknowledge the issue

Euro NCAP calls upon the vehicle industry to improve the vehicle crash compatibility of future models and not to accept settling for the status quo. It believes Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier testing can help manufacturers engineer their cars and vans to better protect occupants in the event of a head-on collision

But is it an unethical car? It fits a lot of stuff or a lot of people or a fair amount of both, but I guess the same thing is true for the f150. Visibility is much better I guess, but would pick ups be more moral if they had a lower hood?

some thoughts about your post

• nobody would buy a van if not in need, because it’s not cool, it costs more etc. So you would end up having less big vehicles on the road. There is no need to regulate too much something that is numerically not important
• the hood height for the van is lower and visibility is better: you can find a lot of studies that connect the former with less killings and less serious injuries and the latter with less collisions, so definitely less dangerous
• i actually think that if pickups had lower hoods, they would be more moral, yes, because they would be less dangerous. (see above)

Slow down your love: this is just a proposal from a bunch of associations. On the other side there are car industry lobbies and their enormous profit margins, which are particularly strong. Let’s see what happens

Hi, I think that Lemmy is great thank you for your hard work

I actually think that given the ads and other distorsions, and thanks to federation, Lemmy is overall actually better than reddit!

Some features I miss are:

• tags
• direct messages outside Lemmy (even if not encrypted)
• better rendering of posts on mastodon (something beyond the title only). Not sure what side is responsible for this, tho!

Keep up the good work guys!
