Historically cheap Chinese cars have done VERY poorly in crash tests. for 10K its probably a piece of plastic which folds killing the user in every crash over 35 mph. It's hard to dig up exact figures. It looks like China has around 500M drivers averaging 10,000 vehicle miles each and annual traffic fatalities of 250,000. This suggests the death rate per billion vehicle miles is about 13 in the US and about 50 in China. https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/statistics/202212/08/content_WS6391cafcc6d0a757729e41bc.html https://english.www.gov.cn/archive/statistics/202212/08/cont... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r... note death rate is herein per billion vehicle km which I have converted to miles https://gitnux.org/average-annual-mileage/ https://gitnux.org/average-annual-mileage/
