I find this interesting. 58 car related deaths from 1.3 billion rides. In the US you have about 100 car deaths per day. Let’s assume 100m cars on the road each day, for 100 deaths for 200 million trips. Uber could be an order of magnitude safer.

Wouldn't most Uber trips be on roads with lower speed limits since they're almost entirely intra-urban? In that case it'd make sense that they're safer than national average.
