Your car is already designed to kill you, it doesn't contain equipment to protect you at the cost of many other people's lives. There's no cow catcher type device on the front for example
That wasn't the point of the comment. A cow catcher is a rigid set of bars designed to stop a heavy animal from hitting the rest of the car. A vehicle with a cow catcher hitting a human is more likely to injure or kill them than a vehicle without a cow catcher. The pedestrian safety features on modern cars are a bit like the opposite of a cow catcher - they try to soften the blow on the pedestrian, at the possibly higher risk of the pedestrian going through the windscreen and killing the driver. After all, if you wanted to protect the occupants of the car at all costs to pedestrians, you would just install a cow catcher.
