    I’d be interested to see some studies that support the idea that increased ride height in a vehicle results in fewer accidents (or fatalities or injuries, however you’d measure it) specifically because of the change in viewing angle

    I’m extremely skeptical, especially since taller vehicles are becoming more common, wouldn’t that alone diminish this effect?

    I’d love to develop a muscle memory for working with it, but nowhere I’ve worked uses it at all. But from memory it really wasn’t that complicated, and the errors it spat out into system logs basically told you exactly what command to run to get past that particular violation.

    I don’t hate it at all. Just, never seen it used anywhere.

    Can you elaborate? I don’t quite follow.

    4-8x longer to stop because of cold snowy or icy weather? Or because of increased weight of such large vehicles?

    And why does seeing farther matter for stopping distance, when the rule of thumb is to maintain X car lengths or Y seconds between your car and the car in front of you? Not even a fully loaded semi needs the entire length of what their higher viewing angle grants them
