“Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles”

Does anyone know if most of these fatalities are on highways (in similar circumstances to where the auto pilot gets used)?

Deaths per mile are probably also higher in the city.

but than again: sample size 1, if people get freaked out by one accident than a lesson in statistics is what they deserve
