Looks like I spoke too soon, my bad.

I must have gotten studies that looked at height confused with weight.

For the occupants, any pedestrian hit by an EV will generally be in worse condition than if they were hit by an ICE vehicle.

While this is ultimately good, the benefit can’t be applied so broadly as “the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars”.

Edit: /u/inclementimmigrant had it right, not me

The solution as always is to reduce car dependence.
