I'm not cherry picking accidents. I literally highlighted every single one of the contemporary accidents mentioned in the article except the one accident from the lead paragraph that you seemed to be talking about. Mandatory AEB on cars only addresses one possible mechanism of underride, and not even the ones listed in the article. I also recall one of the first Tesla Autopilot fatalities being underride that wasn't detected by the AEB. Adding passive safety like guards simply eliminates the possibility of underride, at much lower cost.
> I think you are misreading my comment as victim blaming and reacting to that. That's not what I said.
Here's what you said: "This article is intentionally written to sidestep the victim driver's own responsibility. It's hard to underride into a truck if you're driving attentively."
You are directly placing responsibility on the victim for the circumstances that led them to be a victim. The examples given show that the victim driver either had right of way or no control of the circumstances. I don't see how that could possibly NOT be victim blaming.
