One interesting tidbit is that due to the aerodynamic design, bugs are swept over the windshield and don’t splatter. This effect was theorized in simulations but they were able to demonstrate it during the roadtrip.
We're also going though an insect apocalypse. You probably won't hit a dragonfly, butterfly or thick and smeary grasshopper on any road trip anymore.
Yes, we're all gonna die.
While that’s quite sad, in the case of their road trip, the comparison was made against the many splatters on the chase vehicles making the trip with them.
