The car is king in the US – pedestrian deaths are rising. Where is the outrage?

Can I ask though, is outrage an effective path to finding solutions? Can we not just have a long term view and look at what kinds of incentives and other things we can try over time?

I’d argue the us vs. them mentality is exactly what stops smart solutions from emerging.

This was predicted. Remember when Ford decided they could make more money by only selling trucks and SUVs? Car companies made a decision that more people were going to die so they could sell more expensive cars.

What outrage? The link between bigger/heavier cars and pedestrian deaths is basically unknown among the general population.

People aren't even considering the height and curb weight of their cars.
