> Driving is not safe
This only appears true because we've made our entire world so safe that we can call one fatality every 100 million miles dangerous. Given everything we use cars for and the immense utility of them, being driven almost exclusively by amateurs ... cars are remarkably safe.
And if you could find a way to reliably remove the 1% that cause most of the problems, it would be even safer.
- Sirened 4y agoMy sad related factoid to this is that suicide overtook car accidents as the leading cause of death of teenagers in Colorado. This is because although suicide is a worsening problem, crash safety and driver education have improved much faster than the suicide rate has been rising, causing them to flip for the first time.
