I recently came across it after writing an extended review on a book about the pitfalls of rules that do not allow exceptions News Article About a recent recall issued by Volkswagen with ID.Buzz Electric Van.
Of course, vehicles can be recalled for all kinds of reasons. A vehicle I purchased a few years ago received a recall recently issued to address a software bug that could unexpectedly accelerate cruise control to a dangerous level. This was clearly a good basis for recalls and revisions to be issued. So, what were the important flaws that tormented id.buzz?
Well, it turns out that Volkswagen was giving too much space to passengers in the rear row. In most three-row vehicles, the seats in the final row tend to be small and convulsive, but Volkswagen designed the vehicle to make the seats comfortable and spacious, allowing for a comfortable seating experience. However, regulators don’t have any of these. As you can see, the rear row consists of two seats, both wide enough to comfortably seat two full-sized adults. In fact, the seats were like that So It is spacious and claimed that regulators may decide to narrow down third parties in the back row between two designated seats. However, the third party does not have a seat belt! So the only acceptable option by the regulator is to make sure that only seats are available barely I’ll fit them together. People can take the opportunity when the production of the car provides space for a safe and comfortable fit for two passengers. three passenger. Therefore, the rules allow only enough space to sit two people uncomfortable.
To bring things along with what the rules require, Volkswagen will incorporate recalled vehicles, installing barriers between the two seats in the rear row, effectively reducing available seat space and converting them into ambush seats for the demand of the law. Many current ID.Buzz owners refuse to “fix” the car like this and simply ignore the recall, but future owners are not so lucky.
Of course, some people may try to do something stupid like squeezing three people into a seating area designed for two people. Meanwhile, the list of ways people can make equally stupid and dangerous decisions is roughly Infinity Page Length. The point where wise rules really change to living life is coming Mrs. Grandi It floats above you every time, constantly screaming, “Don’t stop it, you might hurt yourself!” With every movement of yours.
And when the daily lives of citizens don’t look like “Give me freedom or give me death!” And I think it’s been past that point for so long, like “adjusting my seating space and stop hurting yourself with bad choices.”
