Cars in general are just getting bigger and more expensive to repair while our insurance liabilities are not being scaled for that.

On the flip side, I wish the fed gov't would regulate vehicle sizes such that we don't have such an arms race for bigger cars.

We really should be upping the minimal liabilities for cars. That might be the only thing that would really push our local gov't to invest in safer driving infrastructure along with alternative transit options. Vision Zero in many cities have been extremely lacking in comparison to our european counterparts.

This is a good thing. Let the victims get stiffed to force them into smaller and more fuel-efficient cars.
