The Morning After: Does your car need a rear windshield?

You know those folks who say they’d donate a major organ to own a fancy car? Ask them if they’d feel as comfortable sacrificing a rear window instead. Polestar’s newest ride has made its North American debut at the NY Auto Show and notably lacks a rear windshield. The rationale is rear passengers get better headroom and a more comfortable ride than in other cars. Drivers, meanwhile, get a high-res display where the rear-view mirror used to be, linked to a live feed from a rear-mounted camera. Given how often people’s heads or luggage obscure the backward view, it’s a trade I’m readily prepared to accept. — Dan Cooper The biggest stories you might have missed You can now use ChatGPT without an account How to watch (and record) the 2024 solar eclipse on April 8 Open Roads review: Take it slow and savor the drama Microsoft unbundles Teams and Office 365 for customers worldwide ​​You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox.
