Which is vanishingly small.
It means the average driver can expect to be a fatality in an automobile accident once ever one to two hundred years or more.
- sokoloff 1y agoIf you drive a fairly typical 12.5K miles per year, it will take you 8000 years to drive 100M miles. “Or more” technically includes a factor of 20-80x, but I think you were way low.
