I was going to say the ute is dead. I didn't know yank tanks are still being referred to as utes, at least according to Wikipedia. Crazy to think that utes and station wagons have been replaced by giant trucks and SUVs.

You don't need visibility - the car will see for you... Did you feel that bump?

We really are in many ways. Most of our politicians are in the pocket of fossil fuel lobbies, while Murdoch and his ilk control the prevailing narrative in the media. There's a car brain epidemic here for sure.
A good article from The Guardian discussing the trouble we face in Australia with ever increasing vehicle sizes.
