I can see criminals easily exploiting this default behavior to stop the car and steal from those inside.
Where's a Johnny cab when you need it, it knows how to deal with criminals.
Thank God for cars. Imagine riding public transport and getting felt up/robbed/harassed. Glad we can all agree on this Lemmy ๐
Obviously this is the worst of both worlds, but it's a weird flex to support cars.
In public the group of people watching and in close proximity prevents a lot of crime. Criminals feel shame too and at the very least want to prolong their ability to continue to make money how they do.
A single person in a car is vulnerable simply because they are alone. They think the car protects them but its trivial to smash a window and pull someone out.
