Also, 36,500 people were killed, and 4.5 million people were injured in the USA in 2019.

This report makes the mistake of blaming individuals for not wearing seatbelts and speeding, when a shift in urban design is necessary to mitigate this disaster.

    All forms of transportation used to be more dangerous. Engineering of both roads and cars is better. We have safety everywhere.

    Relative to the safety of our time? Does that mean you are comparing it to deaths from disease, war, famine, etc. from the past? While people didn’t travel as much. That’s not what’s being discussed.
