I mean, if you look at the data, you'll very quickly see you're wrong

Fatalities have gone only down over teh past 20 years.
Your assertion that car deaths haven't moved is false

I looked at the data for the continental us and deaths per vehicle-hour is flat as a fucking strap when graphed over the last 30 years.
I could go on at length about the consequences of trying to play whack-a-mole with human stupidity and how that just breeds stronger idiots. There have been no significant changes to vehicle-related death statistics since the 90s when airbags were mandated, despite significant improvements to crash protection and countless here-let-me-help-you-with-that safety features that have been introduced in the last 30 years. So what do you call it when improving safety doesn't actually improve safety?
