Were they not forced to change that for crash safety reasons?
it hasn't been cancelled so no. they physically couldn't change that and make the same vehicle, because the strength of the skin is integral to bearing the load of the vehicle
I'm pretty disturbed by that because the point of a vehicle having crumble zones and whatnot is to protect both itself and the people it hits. If you want to have a moronic concept car that will kill pedestrians and cyclists go right ahead, but please do it on a farm or racetrack. I mean frick nobody is here claiming an F1 car should be road legal, that's moronic. Why is Cybertruck any different?
Again, I'm not claiming all vehicles have to be pedestrian safe. An F1 marshal got hit by one, flipped in the air and broke his back, the blame was put on the driver for disregarding a double waved yellow (aka slow down and prepare to stop), not the design of the car.
But I AM claiming that to drive a vehicle on a public road or have registration you should conform to basic levels of safety. This trend of vehicles getting larger and more powerful with no corresponding increase in safety (yes yes more airbags, I'm talking about the basic relation of velocity and mass to energy) is putting car users into an arms race, motorcyclists and bicyclists into a cars bumper then into a wall then into another cars bumper then into something else, and pedestrians? Nobody in the US seems to give a frick about pedestrians.
It's a joke. You're not a "dumb euro" for thinking it's unsustainable and stupid.
>F1 car should be road legal
They totally should be tho
I agree. There's a dude in Europe who goes out in an 80s F1 car every few years, does 300 km/h on public roads, and never gets caught because they can't prove it was HIM driving it. Shit's hilarious and as long as you're not being fricking stupid you should be allowed to drive them on public roads. So on highways when nobody else is around, or in cities if you're super careful.

peds don't win fights with cars. it's moronic trying to design them to change that, it won't work except in some one in a million case, it's completely pointless.
this does not equate to total ped death. in the future you are far more likely to be saved by software recognizing a pedestrian and sidestepping or braking than by a tumor put on the hood by pencil pushers in the EU.

>this does not equate to total ped death.
Anon, the big concern with rolling torpedoes that weigh as much as current trucks but with absolutely no crumple zones like the Cyber Truck, and superheavy land barges like the new Hummer isn't pedestrians. Current trucks and SUVs with their taller and taller front ends are already excellent for killing pedestrians. It's that they'll absolutely destroy cars they hit as well. What do you think happens if either of those hit a normal car in the 3000 lb range, or an older car in the 2000 lb range?
If you think that's bad, look at the new electric Hummer. It weighs as much as a heavy duty work truck with a fricking dump truck bed on it, but is being sold as a normal passenger vehicle. We're seeing the muh big vehicle obsession in the US get to the point where people want guaranteed death at normal speeds for anyone they hit while not paying attention to the road because they're on their phone.
>0 to 60 in 3 seconds >4.2 tons
The solution to this is to have mandatory comprehensive insurance for any vehicle over 4 tons and extort the frick out of anyone who wants to buy it. I'm talking $1200 USD a month. This shit is a joke.

>it's moronic trying to design them to change that, it won't work except in some one in a million case, it's completely pointless.
Actually yes you can design them to not kill pedestrians as much. I understand you're an American but in other countries, pedestrians are separated from truly high speed environments (highways, tunnels) and pedestrians are separated from vehicles whenever possible. When that's not possible vehicles are forced to slow down via speed limits (with enforcement), traffic calming, noise limits, barriers, deliberately narrow roads, deliberately sharp bends, etc. This concept of "frick pedestrians I want my car" is bullshit because in any country except the US the pedestrian comes first.
After all that's done you have a complicated set of safety features to protect pedestrians in the event of a crash. Everything from visibility to speed to the shape of the bumper to its composition to the handling ability of the vehicle. Cybertruck looks like the vehicle you'd get when you set out to create a vehicle that deliberately does the opposite of the above.
To be clear I do not mind at all if you want your country to be a dystopian hellscape where people are afraid to be within 5 meters of a road and having a car is required to not be homeless and starving, but you have to keep in mind that the US is a large car manufacturer so your moronation spreads to other countries.

Every fricking time, can't these war tourists go home?
>Why is Cybertruck any different?
Because it's a truck, so the rules no longer apply. Same reason why we can't have low wedge-shaped cars anymore for pedestrian safety, but a factory stock truck can have a 5 foot tall grill that will crush a man's chest upon impact, then throw him forward into the road to be run over.
>If you want to have a moronic concept car that will kill pedestrians and cyclists go right ahead, but please do it on a farm or racetrack
But there's next to no pedestrians and (may allah forgive me for uttering this word) cyclists for me to run over there
Does anyone else feel like we're going to see an almost WWI like shift in civilian world weapons and crime in the near future? Also checking those digits.
Some researchers found a way to make polymer lenses that will work with thermal that aren't dependent on uncommon/expensive/hazardous materials like current lenses and can be formed using normal plastic manufacturing techniques rather than needing to be ground like current lenses used for thermal imagers. They can supposedly be made for less than a penny while current lenses account for a large portion of the cost of current thermal imagers.
No, I believe we're in the cybersoi era. We've got all kinds of technological shit that control our lives and we're under constant surveillance, but it's all fricking gay.

Mostly because it was the only one that had computers in any meaningful sense. It kind of swung and missed hard on everything else.
Weaker states and corporate sovereignty? States are stroger than ever. Body modification and transhumanism? Other than tattoos we're no closer to it being socially normal than before it was written. Military weapons in widespread civil hands? Nope, the registry was closed, open bolts and third holes were banned and we're further from it. Acid rain and environmental disasters make going outside impossible? Nope, and environmental regulation is more stringent than ever. USA culturally and economically overrun by an ascendant Japan (or China), even using their currency? Nope lmao.
Saying cyberpunk was accurate is the "omg she's so me" of literature.
nta, but that’s a cope. Czech Republic and baltics allow firearm ownership and concealed carry and have the same crime rates. Same with the white parts of the US. See Vermont in particular.

Mostly because it was the only one that had computers in any meaningful sense. It kind of swung and missed hard on everything else.
