Provided there is some kind of malicious activity, like drunk driving or manufacturer negligence, I find there to be quite a bit of media coverage of motor vehicle deaths. I'd guess that our perception is that they don't cover it because there are so many distinct events which get short 1 minute nightly news stories, while school shootings tend to result in longer, more focused coverage.
