safety and illusion

Malcolm Gladwell writes:

Jettas are safe because they make their drivers feel unsafe. S.U.V.s are unsafe because they make their drivers feel safe. That feeling of safety isn’t the solution; it’s the problem.

I am reminded of various more politicized debates.

I drive a Camry, by the way, and my brother drives a Jetta. (See the table in the middle of Gladwell’s article.)
