As a more than casual observer of Volvo drivers, it's important to factor in their increased recklessness which possibly follows from a sense of safety ("bloody volvo driver" meme). On the other hand, one often sees people sleeping in the driver's seats of Teslas.

I would guess Volvo drivers are safer because they are either cautious people, awake at the wheel, or driving recklessly which may increase awareness and reaction time compared to a sleeping Tesla driver.

Simply, Volvo drivers tend to have more human agency.

Yea... I imagine sports cars are going to have deaths due to pure reckless drivers in addition to deaths that just happen because they aren't as safe.

I would wager the average Mustang or Corvette driver doesn't drive the same as your average Honda Odyssey driver, lol
