alt Hacker NewsI love the look of old cars, but there's a lot of modern safety advances sacrificed with driving around in a classic. Obvious would be modern seat belts and air bags. Less obvious are crumple zones. There's plenty of other things I'm sure that have been added in modern cars. A modern EV with the body of a 1969 Corvette Stingray or 1969 Camaro would be amazing. I'm talking modern interior materials for sound dampening and comfort like updated ACs not modern touch screen nonsense.
I agree. Love older cars in the way they look, but I consider them only a little safer than a motorcycle.
And plenty of people drive motorcycles and old cars every day without incident. Just from a percentage basis it’s not as safe.
