> 2) Headlight elevation blinds other drivers, especially those in shorter vehicles. If you're being blinded from behind at night, you have to slow down to let them pass, or else your mirrors become useless or even actively dangerous to look at.

Being blinded by headlights is a problem for me, but getting blinded from behind is a side issue. The big problem is getting blinded from ahead by oncoming traffic going the other way. This isn't a matter of the lights being mounted too high either. They're either aimed too high or they're just ridiculously bright.

I don't understand why cars are getting made this way.

Simple. Humans are not rational creatures. It's like in high school... people prefer to chasing what appears "cool" or whatever makes them feel powerful, or what will meet the approval of the in-group, or whatever it is they want. Ergo, they run on emotion over logic. It's why, for example, a lot of cars nowadays have low profile tires - they "look cool", even though they are worse than taller tires for typical road conditions. Then you have the fact that, all people are also (to varying degrees, but ultimately/inevitably) short sighted and self-centered, and horrible decisions get made all the time.

There is no reason why anyone needs more that 64k of RAM.

GPUs use too much power, people just want to play games because they want to feel some emotion. Is not valid because it is not based on logic.

Hence we should ban GPUs and only allow on board graphics. The physical constraints of integrated typically mean that the power usage of such setups is naturally limited, and people won't be able to play games for silly emotional reasons because the frame rates would be too low.
