Once they run over a few toddlers and cause severe injury in collisions, the insurance premiums will go sky high. And maybe governments will impose greater safety requirements.

Depends. If these problems arise from US-imported cars the politicians bought by our car industry will act quickly and determined. If such cases keep low long enough until the brain-dead domestic producers only copying trends from elsewhere have entered that functional-tank-disguised-as-a-parent-taxi market then the exact same people will start punishing anyone daring to let living beings not encased in at least 3 tons of steel get into the streets.
