Cars kill 30,000-40,000 people per year in America. They're 4000 pound killing machines. If this actually happened it would be a good thing.

- sixothree 15y agoImagine if we spent all of the billions of dollars surrounding those 30,000-40,000 deaths (healthcare, insurance, litigation, first responders) and invested it into research for alternative methods of transport, eg. driverless cars, public transportation. No other properly operated consumer item poses a risk of death as high as automobiles.
