  Per highway mile, now, I am not sure if overall is better or worse. But it seems to be a discrepancy to Waymo measurement. Also not sure if Waymo data includes pedestrian deaths? (NSC seems not to)

  The best way to reduce driving fatalities is probably to reduce the amount of driving that people do. Excellent public transit, denser cities, better pedestrian / bike infrastructure, mixed-use zoning, etc.

    My (simple, naive, etc.) solution is to ban young males from driving until they're 25. Immediate drop in the accident rate plus a clamour for better public transport / bike infrastructure that even the dumbest government couldn't ignore. (Yes, I know this is completely unworkable, sadly.)
