Furthering that they are indeed not the "Pro-Life" party but instead the "Pro-Birth" party.

This is the only excuse for the massive inflation of new car prices vs. rate of wage increases over the decades. I will give auto engineers props for this accomplishment; cars are so much safer now than 30 years ago.

Clearly not the onion. My right wing father (not Republican because we are not American and he's technically a monarquist) complains that cars are too expensive due to the mandatory security features. Features that he has on his fully equipped Porsche because he wants to be safe, obviously.

Instead of patching over the rising costs, maybe we can move to living in communities that aren't so dependent on such a costly, depreciating asset for every home?

Replace seat belts with piano wire and make air bags with 50x the explosive charge but replace the airbag with ball bearings.

You mean the group of people that are okay with schools being used for target practice thinks cars are too safe?! I am shocked.

Car Companies: "the regulations are so big and heavy and workers cost so much munnies. Pls let us do less QA on the vehicles mandatory to live in america."

Republicans: "CRUSH MORE CHILDREN, who would dare inconvenience these poor sweet automotive corporations?!"

Anyone paying attention: "Yall know aside from oil companies, car companies are the most ridiculously subsidized companies on earth?"

Jesus fuck! What the fuck is it with these fuckers!?!? really? Cars are too safe!??! WTF?

I am guessing they want to deregulate the safety laws so that they can take the money that they spend on it and stick it into their pockets and still keep the price of cars the same!

They aren't even save for anyone outside the vehicle, to the point that death are increasing already. not just bikes video

I agree with them whole heartedly. When they remove seat belts, they need to be the first to become a pavement puddle.

Definitely Not The Onion material. Heck, you could almost convince me that this is The Onion.

I've been seeing a lot of weird culture war coverage around this, even more than usual these days. Big fan of cheap, simple, accessible technology and tools. Cars are tools. Less components and less complexity means they are cheaper to produce and maintain. Bring back the econobox, the car I'm hype for is the electric equivalent of a 94 Corolla

Cars in some ways are too coddling, giving people a false sense of safety. All these new features like lane keeping and blind spot warnings make people drive with reckless abandon.

If we took every conservative on the planet and put them on an island together, how long do you think it would take before the cannibalism and incest kicked in?

Tbh, it would be kind of nice if sensors weren’t put in easily damaged areas of cars. They’re part of why bumpers and tailgates are so much more expensive. I wonder if cars could have all the safety features using a couple little LIDAR and camera packages instead of chips on every piece of plastic.

Buy motorcycles. Problem solved.

Yes Ted Cruz I totally believe that if they got rid of these Safety Systems cars would magically get cheaper. No one should doubt that for a second Ted Cruz. There's no way they'll just get rid of the safety system and then pocket the extra the proceeds. Ted Cruz would never be for that I'm sure.

Maybe if American "cars" were actually car sized, they would need a lot less material to be made, and require a less powerful cheaper motor to move all that metal around.

Cars can never be too safe. What I want is a car with no computers or telemetry whatsoever. I want a car that is private with how I use it. Like what they were pre 2000s. Just a hunk of metal to go from point A to point B.
