Americans' love affair with big cars is killing them

Perhaps the other thing to do is enforce laws related to use of cell phones while driving. A survey by the AAA in 2022 found that in the previous month 37% of respondents admitted to reading a text or email while driving and 22% admitted to sending a text while driving. There is a remarkably lax approach to enforcing road laws in this country.

Do you honestly think they would have survived if hit by a car?

No idea, that would require knowing the exact circumstances of the collision. Positions, trajectories, weight, speed etc. I would suspect there could possibly be a difference between getting hit by a Suburban or a Fiat though.

GM, Ford, and Stellanis make their money from giant trucks and SUVs. These vehicles are not going away. Those companies would disappear
