The real answer is that we need rigorous pedestrian crash safety testing. Right now we only evaluate automotive safety based on how well occupants inside the car are protected, which is absurd.
We also need to grade vehicles on how well they protect pedestrians, cyclists, and occupants of other vehicles, and if they don't pass the tests they can't be sold.

In Europe they have had pedestrian crash testing since 2010. The US does not currently have a standard that I'm aware of. Though because a good amount of cars are global designs, this has influenced the American market. Definitely agree that it should be a consideration everywhere.
