I wish the article would have some comparative statistics from other countries, with different city/traffic design.

I would guess that the accident rate is lower for most of Europe, but I would not know about (South-) East Asia, for example.

It would be interesting to compare the effect of vehicle type as well: I'd imagine being hit by an SUV is much more likely to kill than by a smaller car with a lower, softer front.

Headline incorrect.

The number of humans killed by indifferent human engineering keeps going up.

Cars don't kill - road designers and human drivers do.

No mention of texting-either drivers or pedestrians.
