@ahltorp@mastodon.nu @RadicalGraffiti@todon.eu First, the above was slightly sarcasm. If a car needs to protect either itself or pedestrians around it, we're designing them wrong. Second, I haven't checked but I'm almost certain that Wikipedia has an excellent article about the evolution of fenders. Third, not many "higher hoods" on my neighbourhood, so I didn't really consider above that they may exist somewhere else. Somewhat myopic, but I never claimed the above post was written with peer-review in mind.
