I dislike the idea people have of increasing their safety in an inertia war by increasing their mass, at the expense of the safety of others. I have no greater right to safety or life than anyone else.

I'm looking forward to the near future where cars are able to avoid most human caused accidents, and vehicles can return to normal sizes. Eventually, cars will not have to be designed with crumple zones and reinforcement, and instead can be designed for efficiency and utility alone. Seat belts and airbags will no longer be necessary. Impaired driving and cellphones will become a non-issue.
