I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.

Do large vehicles in other countries have lower grilles? If not, is it because only Americans like the way they look or is it due to different laws?

In europe there are categories. For example category B is where regular vehicles up to 3.5t (at full capacity) are. They also have quite strict pedestrian safety regulations. Due to weight and pedestrian safety american trucks don't actually fit in this category and require an additional category C license. Being in category C opens you up (depending on the country) to additional road taxes, road usage limitations and even might not allow you to enter certain areas.
