The interesting part of the article for me was that Bird helped change CA law which previously required wearing helmets in electric scooters.
Transportation of any kind is a fairly dangerous activity. I assume it’s more likely to be injured on a scooter than in a car, but I don’t think the hard numbers are in.
For example if you multiply the number of miles not driven by the vehicular accident rate, you would want to subtract that number of injuries off the scooter injury total, but surely it would still be positive.

I doubt it. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2989 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
