    Part of why these monstrosities are possible is that pickup trucks, and most SUVs, are regulated as “trucks” not “cars” and so they don’t have to follow all the same safety rules as cars.

    There are some that actually have a camera in the front so you can look at a camera view of what’s in front of you and blocked by the monstrous hood. I suppose that’s good, but it seems like if they have to put a front-facing camera in a vehicle, they’re admitting that the view out front is so obstructed that the vehicle shouldn’t be legal.
