NHTSA very notably didn't care about pedestrian safety at all. Luckily that finally changed, they started testing for that for 2027 models onward.

IIHS only really tests how good a car is at preventing an accident, not what happens when it fails like for example Euro NCAP does (and so does NHTSA starting nowish).
