  1. cool technology, terrible results. cars have gotten so ugly in the past couple of decades! the biggest flaw in car design that I see is that their complex vurves fon't blent into cityscapes at all, unless the surrounding buildings are all equally new, which most buildings are not. modern cars don't look like they belong between buildings and infrastructure thats decades or centuries older than them. older cars, up to and including the boxy ones from the 80s, so this much better. the reason is that both old buildings and old cars are to a large degree made of straight lines and simple curves (such as sections of circles), whereas modern cars are made of complex curves all over (curves that change radius along their length following no mathematical formula, or a very complex one). cars are made this way today because modern technology has made it easier than it used to be, and because putting more bends and folds into sheet metal than old cars have stiffens the parts and allows them to be made thinner and lighter. it makes sense, the cars are better as standalone objects, but they look bad in most city/town/village environments.
