It is worse than that. Companies are killing their EV models and discontinuing [sedans](https://www.autoblog.com/features/these-automakers-no-longer...) in favor of trucks and SUVs.

They've been on this path for a while now. The reckoning has to come at some point right?

At this point I don't see a solution to the arms-race of autobesity besides regulation. Cars that represent a larger threat to other road users need to have that externality internalized onto the driver.

Because otherwise we just get things like the Hummer EV which is literally over 9000 lbs.
