This is so late in coming to some kind of realization, and will take even longer for regulations to be enacted - and they probably won’t because of Ford and GM’s control over Washington. But it is a HUGE problem (pun intended) in terms of injuries in accidents and impact on infrastructure.

Beyond that, if/when BMW moves away from pure turbocharged ICE into hybrid or EV for M cars, it will be a very sad day for the brand. I can’t envision an approach that has the fun factor and lively engagement… the AMG approach is 4 cyl + EV, but that approach is a failure. My guess is we’re 10 years away from such a cataclysmic event.
