As someone who has to stop for moose (Alces alces), american elk (Cervus canadensis) and the still very large mule dear (Odocoileus hemionus) that jump out of nowhere anywhere you drive I appreciate being able to steer quickly and brake quickly.

Sadly, the vehicles that are becoming more stable from having a low center of gravity, that is to say your typical EV, have terrible braking distances due to their increased mass. The Tesla Model 3 has a stopping distance that's longer than a Ford F150's.
