Aren’t those the taillights that tell you how loaded your truck is?
There’s tons of technology going into every part of a modern car. That’s why repair costs are going up.
Damn, did the car designer play Death Stranding?
I mean anything is possible. It wouldn’t be the first time media inspired technology.
It is technology that almost no one is asking for and few are using. Especially if they had an idea of how much this mostly useless tech was adding to the cost of modern vehicles.
Some farmers revolted a few years ago when tractor manufacturers did more or less the same thing.
It will take several years for enough to hit the used parts market that the price drops. Ford will then change the design for... progress.
No one makes an OEM taillight without the bed weight tech??? Wow.
Someone I know got into a bump with a bently in a parking lot. They said the shop had to remove the front windscreen to fix the rear bumper. That is some pretty dumb car design.
Poor design for consumers.
Great design for maximizing profit.
