All of the above, especially the EuroNCAP door pillars, plus .... amongst other things
Blacked out windows.
Smaller and smaller windows.
Wider and wider vehicles.
Huge door mirrors.
Taller passenger vehicles.
No windows in vans.
All of which greatly reduce one's ability to see what is going on several vehicles ahead and drive accordingly or make safe maneouvres when pulling out of junctions or parking, etc.
Plus the darkened interiors and very sloped and curved screens make it almost impossible to make eye contact with or even see the driver of an approaching car and so judge what they might do next.
"The Authorities" like this on the basis that most people, in the absence of instruction and certainty, will apply greater caution. Or so the belief goes.
They may be right but we will never know with any degree of certainty.
Once autonomous self driving cars arrive it won't matter anyway.
