Imagine living in a universe where, without even trying, you can run so fast that if you trip, you will die and splatter your body over a couple hundred meters of ground. And if you trip into someone, it’ll kill them and possibly an entire pile of people.
Like, in motor racing, the cars get wrecked but the drivers are fine. In the movie Cars, they all die. The race spectators are watching a blood sport.
Hmmm… You’re right that cars don’t crash as much as people trip. But they still crash a lot
And while if a cheetah trips while running it’s fine, if a car crashes at its top speed, it will completely come apart. Heck, if a car crashes at highway speed, it’s typically still absolutely destroyed, and highway speed is only gonna be like 1/2 or 1/3 its top speed, so that’s the equivalent of jogging.
A big part of this is the fragility of cars vs their speed.
That deleted scene is… It’s… Well that raises so many questions about their universe. I’m just gonna ignore that part lol.
Cars in Cars have also been shown to have complete control over their components, so I think crashes would be much more avoidable.
Other than that, I don’t have much. They would probably take a lot of measures to stop crashes, designing their societies completely differently from us. But they didn’t, because it’s Cars. At the end of the day, if you’re looking for sound world logic from Cars… I have bad news.
But trying to extrapolate from nonsense movies is the fun part!
Let me rephrase, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic, I’m trying to imagine “what if we were as relatively fragile as cars are”. What if our normal every day activities like walking were as risky to us as driving is to a car.
I wonder about this though because cars are “fragile” due to being designed to protect the humans inside. I would think that the sentient cars would have evolved differently to be more protective of themselves.
Again, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic. I don’t care that they would have evolved differently, that’s not something from the movie. I’m not interested in imagining how the movie could have been different.
Cars is a movie where cars are people
We are people
Cars exist in our world
Imagine that’s what we were.
