Okay, so the switch from 6 volts to 12 volts (automobiles) was made

Why, for the same reasons, are we not switching to 24 volts? I
understand that a few military vehicles and commercial trucks are 24
volts. Why not our automobiles?

Anybody know?

Autos are going to use 34 volts in a couple of years. They are being
designed now.

Was supposed to 42 volts several years back - what happened?

POSSIBLY: The NEC limit on "safe" voltage level. ?????
