Somehow the USA increased fatalities, while simultaneously decreasing the amount of pedestrians by making their cities and suburbs hellscapes to walk in

Pedestrian deaths in the US have increased by 80% since 2010 but in Europe they decreased by 50%

There's a very deliberate reason this is so.

Oh I mean yeah I’m sure if it were more profitable, car and oil companies would lobby to have smaller cars be the norm and not sell SUVs

The SUVs are to get around taxes for oil usage, Obama made the oil usage tax in relation to the size of the vehicle, so now the companies don't do anything to make the cars more efficient and just make them big instead.
