Well, they’re certainly developing cars that kill and maim pedestrians, disperse clouds of microplastics, and contribute excess CO2 to our atmosphere…

Right. I was talking about passenger safety. But sure, if you purposefully designed a vehicle that has poor pedestrian visibility and end up getting hit by that same vehicle due to that poor visibility, you shouldn't be surprised.

I agree that car analogies should be taken seriously.
Sure, cars are useful. But aiming to sell as many cars as possible is no more ethical than selling as many yachts as you can, especially if it involves making the living conditions worse for anyone who doesn't own a yacht, for example by bribing politicians, or destroying non-yacht-capable waterways.
