    my guess for 'wider lanes increasing crashes' is that having everyone further apart makes them feel like there's more room for error so people drive less cautiously.

    • @luke_cohen1
      @luke_cohen1 2 роки тому +7

      That's partly it but there's another thing we haven't taken into account: wider lanes means less lanes on the road itself. This makes it harder for slower drivers to move so faster drivers can pass them since everyone has less lanes to work with. Plus, the global population's median age has increased over time and we all know the issues older drivers cause on the road. This had lead to greater speed disparities on the road and has caused more accidents and traffic jams as a result since faster/busier drivers get a lot more pissed off and reckless. A two lane road shouldn't be a hassle to travel on but it becomes one when a 65-75 year old grandma going 5-10 mph (8-16 km/h) under the speed limit is at the front of a line slowing everyone else down behind them. The angrier the drivers behind them get, the more likely they will do something drastic to get around them and that will increase the risk of accidents if that driver isn't calculated enough to make such a maneuver safely.

    • @neruwu
      @neruwu Рік тому +3

      That's part of it but additionally the smaller the lane the faster your brain thinks you're going. So on a smaller road you will subconsciously drive slower than on a bigger road because it seems to you that you're going much faster than you actually are.

      Take whatever quote a body shop gives you to fix some damage to your car out of pocket, and expect them to charge at least 50% more if the insurance is paying for it (by changing other bits that didn't need to be changed, inflating the hours etc).

    When I was working as a carpenter, I looked into getting a truck and my main problem with all of them was the height. You get a truck to haul your tools, all these trucks were too tall for me to grab a tool from the bed without hopping up into it. I had no need for a massive hunk of metal just to bring my ~200 lbs of tools to a site. Heck, put in a lumber rack and I could probably be better off with a short bed and extended cab.
    When Telsa unveiled the CYBERTRUCK I was actually bummed. A UA-camr had converted her Model 3 into a truck by replacing the back seats with a bed and mounting a lumber rack. That was WAY more of a truck for me than an armored behemoth made for the end of the world.

    11:20 - The SUVs people buy with base engines like 2.5L turbo 4 cylinders need to be revved out a lot more to get into the power that's needed to make big vehicles move. And that just means the engine falls apart sooner because it is overstressed. It won't actually save money in the long run and will lead to more waste because vehicles will fail sooner. No replacement for displacement still rings true. Throwing on a turbo just means your choosing to amplify a certain part of the engine's power curve. Which means sacrificing peak horsepower for more low-end grunt or vice versa. Even with variable turbo technology you are stressing the engine out quite significantly for what usually ends up being very little fuel savings in larger vehicles.

      No disadvantage for diesel (cold exhaust =no turbo wear,no knock=no limits on boost pressure, quality control=no lag, better engine housing to withstand diesel cycle no engine wear due to increased pressure). And for SI 5 years back it was ok as long as 1L=100hp. Now with Atkinson cycle and electrically supported turbos maybe a nice super-cap combo lag is manageable and increased torque can be traded for better economic at lower loads. So do not worry to much. While both waste-gate and variable turbo work best at one operating point as you point out, hybridization can completely make up for that. plus they can still operate over a wider band of rpm and at least support the engine a little. The torque curve should be designed for the task so that you do not need to rev to 4000rpm to get the turbo going. And i mean you could always either get power or eco and a modern turbo lets you decide with a kiss to the throttle. The times of turbos needing additional cooling by flooding them with fuel are over.

Smaller SUVs like the CRV and Ford escape can get away with a smaller Turbo 4 cylinder, biggest issue is maintenance. People never maintain their oil and its always been an issue. Now with Turbo engines becoming more popular those engines need regular oil changes because they will always burn a little oil and run hot.

And if people are always in need of the little extra space, they could probably use the larger engine as well.

    • @26adex
      @26adex Рік тому

      I was thinking when he said that, that the only reason they got faster is for manufacturers to brag about it. In day to day life size is more important (at least in Europe) because many of those bigger cars are the worst when it comes to finding a place to park somewhere. They literally can't be fitted in some place that is supposed to be able to have one car. They take up almost 2 car spaces. I would prefer to cars even get a little slower for the safety reasons and remain their size instead of getting faster and thus bigger so they can fit all those safety features that would not have to be there
