  You're right, I misrepresented the idea. Part of the thing is that US roads are just so much more dangerous in every way. Here's the actual data: US pedestrian fatalities 2 per 100k. US driver fatalities ~7 per 100k. European pedestrian fatalities: 0.5 per 100k. European driver fatalities: ~2 per 100k. So it's somewhat understandable that regulators may disproportionately favor crash protection for drivers.

    It's especially concerning when you see that US drivers tend to drive huge tanks. Whereas in Europe we have a lot of tiny compact cars. And yet they still die in the US in larger numbers :O
