I've driven a Plaid. Launching that car was actually physically painful. I almost passed out.... and I was behind the wheel, not riding shot gun and not expecting it.
The future certainly isn't bleak, but I agree. The performance capabilities of EVs is not going to make roads safer, and the extremes they will be able to achieve is going to likely require new legislation to avoid a performance war like we saw with sport bikes in the 90's/00's.
Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, and the four Japanese Manufacturers instituted the 300 KP/H limit, but with EVs, when you'll have a lot of manufactures trying to reclaim performance titles across the globe..... it's gonna be interesting.
