When I first visited the US on business, HR conducted a training where the key point was that if stopped by police when you're in a car, don't get out of the car, they are trained to shoot first and ask questions later. Mid 90s.

Terrible training and horrible advice. Pennsylvania v Mimms requires you to step out of a vehicle upon LEO command. LEO does not need to provide any justification.
Also saying they are trained to shoot first and ask questions later is very hyperbolic. Police conduct over 30 million vehicle stops per year without incident.

I read the above comment as "don't get out of the car when you're pulled over unless you're ordered to," and it's important advice. There was a time when one would get out of the car after being pulled over, walk up and meet the cop and find out what was up. That time is very, very firmly over in the United States.
