Why are cars so rounded now?
Part of the reason the curvy look proliferated so quickly and is still with us today is basic physics. Curved exteriors and more steeply pitched windshields make for less wind resistance, as air can flow more easily over them. This means less gas has to be burned to move the car the same distance at the same speed.
Why are modern cars so bulky?
Cars are bigger because safety cells, airbags, crumple zones and more all need plenty of space in order to fit them.
Why do all cars look angry?
You look behind you in the mirror and see an angry car before you see the human being operating that car. We’re designed by biology to recognize faces and emotions. The styling of modern cars is designed to play on that—to intimidate you, to put you on the defensive.
Why are new cars so unaffordable?
New cars are incredibly scarce. Used ones are absurdly expensive. Competition among buyers is fierce. Manufacturers slashed their chip orders early on in the pandemic, but demand for cars roared back way quicker than they expected, leaving them scrambling for semiconductors.
Why are modern cars so safe?
Modern cars have crumple zones that are a safety feature. It means the vehicle is built in a way that absorbs the shock on itself rather than making the passenger absorb it. When your modern car meets a crash, it draws the impact of the collision away from the passengers while an older car is not able to do so.
Why are modern cars so small?
Market forces, fuel efficiency, new technology, and an increase in urbanised living have all contributed to smaller car manufacturing. Around 80\% of the space in a car is completely empty when being driven by just one person, so there is potential for cars to become much smaller over the coming years.
