        From chatgpt:

        Size and Weight: SUVs are generally larger and heavier than smaller vehicles, providing increased mass and momentum, which can contribute to lower injury risk for occupants in the event of a collision.
        
        Elevated Seating Position: The elevated driving position in SUVs enhances visibility for drivers, reducing the likelihood of accidents and improving overall road safety.
        
        Advanced Safety Features: Many SUVs are equipped with advanced safety technologies, including multiple airbags, stability control systems, and advanced braking systems, which collectively enhance overall safety.
        
        Robust Structural Design: SUVs often have robust structures and frames, incorporating reinforced pillars and side-impact beams, providing better protection in the event of a crash.
        
        Crash Compatibility: In collisions between different-sized vehicles, occupants of the larger vehicle (such as an SUV) may experience lower injury risks due to the energy-absorbing capabilities of their vehicle's structure.
        
        Versatility in Driving Conditions: SUVs are designed to handle a variety of driving conditions, including adverse weather and rough terrain, making them a safer choice in certain situations.
        
        Family-Friendly Design: Many SUVs are designed with families in mind, incorporating features like spacious interiors and additional safety features tailored for transporting passengers, especially children.
        
        Towing Capacity: SUVs often have higher towing capacities, making them suitable for towing trailers or other recreational vehicles, and manufacturers design them with stability in mind for such activities.
