There's pretty good evidence to suggest that the design of American pickup trucks is at least in part to blame for this. They have much longer frontal blind spots than sedans, vans, and SUVs, and their high bonnets mean that pedestrians are hit in the head and run over, rather than being hit in the legs (not great either, but a broken leg is better than a broken brain). The ever-higher bonnets mean that these blind spots are growing, not shrinking, in never vehicles. Furthermore, many such vehicles aren't even fitted with passenger-detecting automatic emergency braking. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/the-hidden-dangers-of-big-trucks/ https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/the-hidden-danger...
