> 3,700 people die every day from crashes
Can you provide your source please? Closest I could find is https://www.cdc.gov/injury/features/global-road-safety/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/injury/features/global-road-safety/index... which states that “[e]very day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians. More than half of those killed are pedestrians, motorcyclists, or cyclists.” I didn’t find a number for just motor vehicle crashes, and since the rates are three times higher in developing countries, it seems like the cost of ownership is going to be a huge factor.
