Meanwhile in North America we have a arms race where everyone is buying bigger and bigger trucks for "safety" reasons, even though they're proven to be more wildly more lethal to pedestrians in collisions.
There's no end in sight and I don't know how we turn around from this trend, but I do feel that NA cities would be a lot safer and more efficient if we and our cities were trending toward the compact sort of small kei cars (and compact, thin streets) that they have in Japan.
