   In Slate, I wrote about yet another problem due to car bloat:

   Researchers found that SUVs and pickups have grown so huge that they can destroy highway guardrails.

   Taxpayers are on the hook for fixes that could cost billions.

   Add it to the list of societal challenges worsened by oversized cars (pedestrian deaths, climate change, unaffordable mobility, highway erosion...).
