Also I drive a van and I think it’s cool since obviously I’m cool and so my car kinda has to be, too, so I’m not sure if I agree with your first point
sorry, my mistakes. Vans can be absolutely cool. I think the electric one from VW is extremely cool. It's just not the kind of cool that people with fragile masculinity would desire
EuroNCAP suggested to try to change something, apparently they are not catching in their test, but they acknowledge the issue
https://etsc.eu/calls-grow-to-address-safety-risks-of-large-vehicles-in-urban-areas/
Euro NCAP calls upon the vehicle industry to improve the vehicle crash compatibility of future models and not to accept settling for the status quo. It believes Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier testing can help manufacturers engineer their cars and vans to better protect occupants in the event of a head-on collision
But is it an unethical car? It fits a lot of stuff or a lot of people or a fair amount of both, but I guess the same thing is true for the f150. Visibility is much better I guess, but would pick ups be more moral if they had a lower hood?
some thoughts about your post
- nobody would buy a van if not in need, because it's not cool, it costs more etc. So you would end up having less big vehicles on the road. There is no need to regulate too much something that is numerically not important
- the hood height for the van is lower and visibility is better: you can find a lot of studies that connect the former with less killings and less serious injuries and the latter with less collisions, so definitely less dangerous
- i actually think that if pickups had lower hoods, they would be more moral, yes, because they would be less dangerous. (see above)

si può aggiungere uno "stile bici" a OsmAnd, l'app di mappe FOSS per android
(osmand-rendering.github.io)
Grazie a questo toot ho scoperto che è possibile aggiungere stili custom a OsmAnd, e alcuni qualcuno ha fatto lo sforzo di scriverne alcuni per particolari casi, come il ciclismo
Sembra fatto bene:
OsmAnd è un’app di mappatura offline open source per Android. Molto personalizzabile e con modalità avanzate per modificare i percorsi gpx, analizzarli, filtrare i POI etc.

Thank to this toot i discovered that you can add custmo maaping styles to OsmAnd, and some smart guys made the effort to write some for particular cases.
It looks nice:
