Just to be clear, and I don’t think you said otherwise, that 5k number is only pedestrian deaths. In 2016 there were 37,000 fatalities from motor vehicle crashes.
The figure in the article is similarly reporting all automotive fatalities.

- ChrisLomont 9y ago> Just to be clear, and I don’t think you said otherwise, that 5k number is only pedestrian deaths I clearly wrote "pedestrian/car deaths" and linked to a source that clearly explained it. I'm not sure how else to put it. Here's a better answer [1]: 21 fatalities per 100M vehicle miles of travel in 1923 to 1.36 in 2007. That should completely answer the request for a source.
