America is basically the wild west. Whether you're a pedestrian or in another car, you're on your own.
Indeed.
125 people are killed every single day on the road in the US. No matter how you slice it, the US is an outlier compared to developed countries. [1]
Per capita the US sees 12.9 fatalities per 100,000, worse than Chile and Mexico. More than twice the death rate of Canada (5.8)
Per 100,000 motor vehicle per year the US sees 16.1 fatalities, comparable to Bulgaria and Lithuania, almost double the death rate of Canada (8.9)
Per 1 billion vehicle kilometres driven, it's 8.3 fatalities. That's not quite double Canada's rate of 5.1, but still much higher than other developed countries
The US is a very dangerous country in terms of vehicles compared to developed countries.

First everyone started driving SUVs and pickup trucks. Then the SUVs and trucks got bigger and heavier until they could barely fit in a parking spot or highway lane.
So obviously the next step was to make a truck out of steel with sharp edges, and have an enormously heavy battery for maximum destructive potential.
America needs the CyberSUV.
