That's why at current we have 1.3 million people dying on the road in the US alone. It might make the matter of transitioning to self-driving worse, but it also makes manual driving worse.
- tomcam 9y agoThat's not correct... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=us+traffic+fatalities+by+year http://lmgtfy.com/?q=us+traffic+fatalities+by+year
- alanh 9y agoThe WSJ article includes NHTSA data indicating 'only' 35,000 traffic fatalities per yeah. Where are you getting this 1.3 million number from? That would be equivalent to a full 1% of US population dying on the road every 2.5 years
- itengelhardt 9y agoyou're right. I googled for "number of car deaths in US" (or so I thought) and that number came up. 1.3M seems to be the number for world wide fatalities.
- ericd 9y agoThat number sounds like the worldwide number, not US. Many places have much, much worse road fatalities per capita.
