40,000 people are killed every single year in the USA due to cars. Over 2 million are injured or disabled. And that is direct deaths, not including deaths from pollution.

That is the tip of the iceberg for problems with cars.

And yet, you can't see why cars are a problem? I don't believe you.

Millions are killed by medical mistakes. Does that mean we should do away with doctors?

You can’t count the negative and ignore all the positives.

We don't have a effective alternative to doctors. We do for cars, at least in dense urban settings.

We invest pretty heavily in reducing medical mistakes. Why shouldn't we try to do the same with cars?
