We know what the rate of deaths are: 1 in 8000; roughly 40,000 over 320,000,000.

Slightly less than the rate of suicide; and slightly more than half the number of fentanyl deaths. And a smaller fraction of medical mistake deaths. (Of course, none of the risk is evenly distributed.)

As a systemic problem, I’m not convinced that cars are the worst. Or outside what we accept in several areas.
