Two eyes both with different perspectives help make it look thinner. A proper driver will check behind it, and a shitty driver won't notice the pedestrian even if their car has no pillars at all.

    Somewhere in between your "proper" driver and your "shitty" driver is the average driver, who is substantially more likely to fail to see things when they have a giant blind spot right there.

    Yeah, the previous pillars were look-aroundable with binocolar vision, but these create a definite blind spot.

    Edit: Why the downvotes? Previous A pillar was much thinner.
