They have become this size because of government crash safety regulations. Why does it even matter that vehicles are large anyways? They’re still more efficient than ever.

The US actually has standards for things like "recommended parking space size/spacing". Cars are literally becoming too large for our infrastructure.

Also the big issue with trucks is the hood height, which makes pedestrians less likely to go over the hood and causes more run-overs. Also, no, the size is not a result of crash regulations. Cars are larger sure, but the huge increase in size of trucks and vans is way out of proportion to other cars. They also weigh much more, which isn't an issue pollution wise but is an issue in accidents again due to higher kinetic energy.
