Looking for advice on turning a mountain bike into a cargo bike

Everytime I ride my bike someone tries to kill me
I live in NYC and it seems like almost every time I go out for a bike ride someone almost hits me with their car. And then if you call them out on it they act like it's your fault. I can't even get out for a bike ride to clear my head anymore. I'm so sick of it.
