    it's so dumb to me that no one makes popup headlights anymore because they're "dangerous to pedestrians", meanwhile this 7000lb chunk of steel with sharp corners is totally fine

      I'm not sure they were banned on pedestrian safety grounds - I believe they just became redundant when the US government started allowing smaller and non-standardised headlight designs on cars, and no longer specified a minimum headlight height.
      Pop up headlights were to allow a large, standard-shaped headlight to be lower when not in use, while meeting the minimum height requirement when in use.

      Pop up headlights disappeared as DRL became a requirement. The same regulation changes that brought DRLs also removed the height requirement for headlights that had made pop ups popular in the first place.
      Pop ups were already well on their way out when safety regulations around pedestrian collisions became a thing.

      I babysat my 2 toddlers years ago when my wife is out doing her own stuff on Saturdays. That was the day when the local TV channel played Top Gear episodes. Not wanting to miss any of the episodes, I would let my boys have whatever they wanted, and they let me watch Top Gear.
      Then, one weekend, I was deeply immersed in one of the episodes, with the trio of Clarkson, May, and Hammond's antics. Both my boys suddenly started laughing watching that episode. Subsequently, we were buddies watching Top Gear every weekend.
      My boys are now young adults, and when they come around on the weekends, we watch one of the episodes. That is my bonding with my boys. Top Gear built me a family!

      @nagranoth_ 4 місяці тому +5

      there's a huge difference between understanding design wise you need to shape something a certain way, and 100% accuracy during production. Also, a mm misalignment does not change the overal appearance of flat shiny pnels, a slight curve does.
      That being said, I'm not convinced they designed it to the level James thinks. Big panels are going to have a tendency to bow, especially considering expansion and contraction due to temperature, so they probably designed the attachments so that at least they bow outwards because that looks best. But I doubt there's any precision engineering to exact curves. They'll just have a tolerance.

      the panels on most vehicles produced at scale don't align completely flush.
