The absolute number is irrelevant in terms of safety. You have to look at deaths per vehicle-mile traveled, which is at an all-time low - down to ~12 per billion VMT from ~47 in 1970.pic.twitter.com/CC6YCMO3so

Wonder where this obsession with safety came from (vs French "good journey" or Chinese "journey with the wind")

Not sure, but I’d guess early frontier travel.

Agree w that. Also, when people say that to me I respond with, “I can’t always control the safety, but I can control the fun, so just tell me ‘fun travels’ next time.”
