Yes vehicles ARE designed to kill...although they are not intended for that purpose alone.
One thing I emphasise with my kids is that if you are behind the wheel of a vehicle you have that potential. Best IF you are in TOTAL control than be at the whim of said vehicle.
No, they are not designed to kill. It is ridiculous to suggest that they are. Find a single vehicle on the market today that has in its specifications the specific design goal of killing people. You can't because it doesn't exist. But you can certainly find that goal in the design of every firearm.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
