Driving requires courtesy and attention, but overreliance on cars make people the opposite.

People get frustrated driving in traffic, causing them to be rude and agressive.

Meanwhile if driving is the only way to get around, even for easily distracted people or busy or whatever, they are not going to pay proper attention. Safety features like blind spot detection and automatic crash avoidance just make people pay even less attention.

You say the problem isn't cars, but it is because in america cars are the only way to get around for most trips.

If you make other options more conpelling or faster, than these problems are less severe for those left on the road.

Citron ami goes for arond 8k in Europe, but I'm sure someone could find cheaper used.

And yeah taxes, fuel, and maintenance are more, but most consumers badly underestimate those costs.

Half of that is probably the 2.5kwhr battery, seems like 1kwhr would be a more reasonable range, 180km seems more than needed for most people.

You could try titanfall 2, its a bit dated but still has some players.

Supported with mods and custom servers with a client called Northstar.

Looking at several layers of my government that deny free market on housing so we all have to buy cars.

But is that enough energy to cause damage? Its clearly not a huge problem otherwise cases with camera covers would probably be common.

I don't think its worth most users worrying about it. But definitely don't point your camera at the sun on purpose.

These are for more sensitive cameras with much larger lenses, and correspondingly, physical shutters.

Smartphone cameras don't have one, there must be a reason they don't need it.

I'm not convinced by this post really, I'm sure pointing your camera at the sun with it on will cause damage. But I don't believe that smartphone cameras are as susceptible as photography cameras. If they were they'd have a physical shutter.

But they don't so either the sensor is harder to damage while it's off, or the smartphone lens just isn't big enough (or focused enough) to be an issue. Not to mention they have uv and infraded filters too.

Another other explanation I can think of is that sun isn't likely to be barreling down a smartphone lens often enough to be a problem.

Where I live in north america, the sun never resides directly overhead, so maybe that minimizes damge.

Or maybe it just requires a lot more exposure that its not likely to be a problem for the life of the device.

Either way, unless you are an optical engineer for a smartphone company, I remain unconvinced. It seems to be a rather rare problem that most users shouldn't worry about.

I have similar feelings with The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
