Likely you’re a normal human - you see the people in that photo as a family. Ogles is a Republican death cultist; he sees those people as political props.
Given the frame size, it’s more a truck dressed up as a car (for purely commercial, but not regulatory, purposes).
So, kind of. Cars are largely safer from inside the box, but the increasing mass and hood height has made them substantially worse in the US, even as pedestrian deaths are falling the rest of the world due to safety rules.
We are worse on miles driven, but we are worse than most in deaths per VMT as well.That gap is getting pretty extreme when you compare to someone like the UK. We had falling death rates, starting from a lower rate than a lot of industrialized countries per VMT, but around 2010 we started to climb while everyone else continued to fall. https://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/irtad-road-safety-annual-report-2018_2.pdf
