If we could do away with traffic accidents, that'd be wonderful. There'd be more than a million people saved every year on this planet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is so much we can do to save lives on our roads.
We cannot, of course, eliminate all accidents - no industry can do that.
For every $1 billion we invest in public transportation, we create 30,000 jobs, save thousands of dollars a year for each commuter, and dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Modern motor vehicles are safer and more reliable than they have ever been - yet more than 1 million people are killed in car accidents around the world each year, and more than 50 million are injured. Why? Largely because one perilous element in the mechanics of driving remains unperfected by progress: the human being.
Most of us have to spend a lot of energy to learn how to drive a car. Then we have to spend the rest of our lives over-concentrating as we drive and text and eat a burrito and put on makeup. As a result, 30,000 people die every year in a car accident in the U.S.
It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.
We must do a better job of educating all drivers to be safer on the road.
We know that 10 million more people will lose insurance in the next 10 years if we don't act.
Some accidents there are in life that a little folly is necessary to help us out of.
I envision a future without traffic accidents or congestion. A future where everyone can use a car.
