The hard part is the image processing to figure out where their eyes are. Or even being able to image it around the glare of their headlights.

Cool thing about lanesplitting is anybody you piss off stays stuck in traffic further and further behind you. Also, if you're lanesplitting fast enough that you can't watch & brake for a door, or where getting doored would kill you, IMO you're going too fast.

Yesterday I saw a crossover vehicle with running boards. It was a Buick Encore and I looked it up and the ground clearance is 6.2 in. Edit: My 2009 Civic has a ground clearance of 5.9 in. waffle iron fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Sep 12, 2019 |

The majority of crossovers have full on given up any pretense of offroad abilities. They're all about providing an upright seating position on a car-like ride.

I think I can fit 33/12.5r15s without a lift and that would give me 9 inches but my approach and departure angles would still be single digits. I have said before I like the cuv concept because they are selling cars to people who want trucks but should be in cars. I just wish they weren't in an ugliness competition, and didn't kill all the cars.

My 2002 Monte Carlo had 6.2" of ground clearance and I can confirm it was sufficient to carefully drive fully onto a curb and grass area, then down off the other side to escape a parking lot that had a locked gate late at night. That's all the off-roading most city folk will ever need.

I've made some really silly decisions with my 5.5 inches of clearance city car and managed to not break anything or get stuck. Obviously there's a very firm limit to how "off road" such a car can go but if you go slow and keep the tires out of holes a lot more forest service roads are accessible than you'd initially think.

mildly related: I just found out that one of my coworkers (whom I very rarely interact with) is a chud, as I was browsing Facebook marketplace and came across his ad for some metal keys you can get your Bitcoin wallet key engraved in. Imagine my lols. I dug deeper and saw that he was a fan of Carson in the primaries and is now a very quiet Trumper. LMAO he works in a company of progressive scientists. However, the ability of engineers to be complete chuds is also absolutely amazing.

The narrow width and picking your line goes a long way. I went from a camry to a suburban and I’m actually more wary now in the suburban because it’s clearance isn’t great and it’s wide, harder to pick a line. Whereas a camry that’s on a road rutted out by wide cars can put a tire on the edge and one on the middle bump and beast thru
