> but this paper shows that heavier vehicles are not that and in fact do more harm than good for the system overall How did you derive that from the paper? If anything, this paper + the data from https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-model https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-... actually sound like everyone should switch to SUVs, cause switching to SUV reduces the death rate by up to 6 times, and everyone else doing the same (according to the paper) only adds up to 50%, so the total is a reduction of up to 4x. I mean it is kinda obvious, that the bigger - the safer. Cause in a collision of to ginormous mechs chances to keeps a small capsule with the driver intact are basically 100%. I am impressed so many people here read the report and took it as a confirmation of their existing bias towards small cars with 0 thinking.
