It's an arms race though, most people prefer bigger cars because it makes them feel safer from all of the other big cars on the road.

Also it was actually the gas efficiency regulation that started the arms race, because big trucks were exempt from the regulations so car manufacturers started pushing more people towards buying trucks instead of sedans.

Right. So a good step to improve safety would be to apply the same rules to trucks and cars.
