United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Can't change it for existing vehicles, but can for new ones. The existing ones will eventually age out.
EDIT: I suppose that it might also be ultimately obsoleted as an issue on the receiving end if either:
Everyone winds up using a self-driving car.
If we shift to vehicles that don't have glass windows, like, just rely fully on cameras and displays. We already have vehicles doing things like providing radar HUD warnings and camera displays. We could move all the way to displays. It does make the continued functioning of the camera and display system functioning life-critical, which is not a trivial move to take
if it fails, you're now fully blind at highway speeds
but it could solve a lot of other issues, like helping older drivers with degraded vision. And for self-driving cars, the computer vision system is already life-critical, so...shrugs it's a problem that has to be dealt with anyway. If you're using cameras, then you can post-process the stuff and do whatever you want, merge data from infrared cameras, outline people and vehicles, get the blind spots from the pillars out of the way, whatever. Would also permit for cars to be a lot more secure and have better thermal and sound insulation.
