> It should really read "Automobiles now immensely safer in the US".

That isn't the main topic of the article though. From the opening sentence: "For the first time in more than 60 years, firearms and automobiles are killing Americans at an identical rate". The headline simply points out the article's main data point of automobile and gun deaths converging.

The article's headline and banner strongly promote this concept that guns are an increasing problem. While the title and opening sentence aren't false, they ARE misleading.

That's purely subjective.
