I think you might have something. Visibility in cars is getting worse and worse.
On my last trip (to San Diego), I had a rental VW bug. It handled pretty decently for a rental car, but I really had a hard time parking it (with perpendicular parking being far worse than parallel parking).
I couldn't see the front of the car.
I couldn't see the back of the car.
I couldn't see any lines on the ground for 10 feet around.
That's because cars aren't hobbit-sized.

(yes, that seriously was the best I could do.)
