A common tactic of the automobile industry is to design and market cars which are deadly to *other people* then impute the injuries and deaths those cars cause to whatever the victims were doing. Walking, biking, scooting and small cars aren’t dangerous. Bloated SUVs/trucks are.

This is an extension of the DOT (pioneered by the auto industry) "shared responsibility" framing which presents killing people, through road and car design and driver actions and *being killed* by those decisions as moral and practical equivalents.
@bellachu10 There is always going to be a vehicle that is statistically in more accidents. Implying that makes it dangerous, in an era of overall great safety, or that the fault is the vehicle rather than the types of people it is marketed to, is logically false.
