Why are so many American pedestrians being killed by car-drivers at night?

Fascinating piece in the New York Times (free link here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/11/upshot/nighttime-deaths.html?unlocked_article_code=1.FE0.uEMf.FuV3jZhYzZHu&hpgrp=k-abar&smid=url-share) on this question

After years of decline, the number of pedestrians killed by drivers began to rise in 2008

No-one's quite sure why

Embiggified vehicles don't seem to be the cause ..

Thouhg distracted driving does seem to be part of it

Also: more people living alongside massive highway-eseque suburban roads

Super multi-factorial
