1928 photo of a 1906 car built by Charles L. Lawrence. Lawrence was a designer of radial air-cooled engines and was the president of the Wright Aeronautical Corp. at the time this photo was taken.
Modern cars are also blind as hell, which doesn’t help. Even with the backup cameras and stuff. My daily driver has A-pillars that are so thick that they can block the view of a whole car from two lanes away. I know and compensate, but still have to SMH once in a while. Rollover protection, but how many accidents has the feature caused?
