Also, 36,500 people were killed, and 4.5 million people were injured in the USA in 2019.
This report makes the mistake of blaming individuals for not wearing seatbelts and speeding, when a shift in urban design is necessary to mitigate this disaster.
I suspect that EVs will be added to this as well: they’re 30% heavier than the ICE counterpart and can create fires which are hot and difficult to extinguish.
The weight of trucks is a concern but secondary to their construction which is a much more rigid body that doesn’t crumple to distribute energy in a crash.
Similarly while EV fires are worse, ICE fires are relatively more common.
