I’m sure a big part of the difference in USA vs Australia’s rates is medical costs. Here the insurance company for the driver at fault has to pay the medical bills. Those can be hundreds of thousands or millions or dollars

The numbers I listed are base model vs base model so a $80k Models S vs a $100k Mercedes S Class.
