We’ve had those technologies for decades. Why are fatalities not dropping to zero?
Because the personal automobile is so desirable.
A majority of fatalities do not happen in urban environments. But the solution has to cover the last mile, or else it will not be an attractive alternative to other modes.
Alabama, Mississippi et al have highest fatality rates. A car is far more convenient than a bus or a bike.
I’m referring to the technology generally here. I’m indifferent to how it comes about (“VC funded” etc). We need to innovate to solve hard problems.
