The vehicle designers/engineers didn’t give any attention to Ergonomics.
We had to get a new car after our trusty Dodge started having issues once it hit 200K miles. They don’t make the model anymore, which I loved. Anyways, after test driving vehicles I found it very odd how they are making them with more of a blind spot than ever. Ended up with a Chevy. If someone is sitting in passenger seat and with the thick T-bar (I don’t know what it’s called) between the front and back window, I have to ask them to move their head when I’m backing up.
Nope. I actually have a harder time seeing pedestrians in parking lots in my Dad's Chevy HHR (very low to the ground, short windows/low roofline), as the two pillars are very close to me (narrow car) and I'm over 6' (low roof line and rearview mirror is big for the car). I don't like driving it, but when he visits, he insists I drive him around. I come closer to hitting more pedestrians in his car than I ever have in bigger vehicles. And I'm looking out his car at what would have been waist/hest high for this woman who was 5' 1" tall.
