But not with nearly every vehicle being one of them and operated by people with CDLs that understand a lot of the safety features of the road aren't going to work for them.

Not to mention that the 7,000 pound EV can do 0-60 in waaaay less time than a big truck.

Mentions skidding on ice in first paragraph. No amount of training can reverse the laws of friction.

Thing is, I agree and think normal consumer passenger cars are getting far too heavy. Like people.
