How come car insurance is so expensive in the US? In Europe it's vastly cheaper and the policies themselves are much better.

I don't know the exact calculations but people in Europe have nationalized healthcare, more easily lose their license, drive less, and generally have smaller and cheaper vehicles.
Well traffic deaths per capita are about double in the US so that probably carries over to other insurance-triggering incidents.
