On page 3 of [1] from the article which shows most number of deaths, it seems like there's almost a perfect correlation between 'size' and 'deaths'. I remember thinking about getting a mini Cooper, literally while driving in my family's quite large SUV, and my father indicating how they are unsafe due to size. I couldn't help thinking of the odd kind of 'race to size-safety' factor severely limiting people's ability to drive smaller, more efficient cars. I want to drive a small car for a variety of reasons. But the moment I have children ... 'safety' might be my #1 concern (along with the convenience of a large utility vehicle). It could very well be that this 'safety arms race' is harmful. [1] https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf/52/3 https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf...
