I think this speaks to our flawed approach of vehicle safety.
Consumers think big = safe, and crash tests are king. You end up with monstrous vehicles that are very high up and have high belt lines and terrible visibility.
We build things that are safe when they get into accidents, but worse at avoiding them in the first place.
It seems something smaller, nimble and with better visibility is the inherently safer design, but it's the opposite of what anyone sells.
