You can depends on the cohorts sizes. Order of magnitude is probably large here tho.
I somehow doubt when correct in absolute numbers lap infants are saving any lives.
Run the model in AI on real cohorts and absolute numbers it’s a wash at best and an urban legend at worse. 5 lives saved over a decade. Toothpicks on a plane likely killed more people than that.
To be clear but the NTSB and the American society of pediatrics have both said the FAAs math here is totally bunk.
Most accidents happen close to home because most driving happens close to home it says nothing of the risk of road trips - I expect better from HN commenters.
I have no idea what a “r*” is. You’re making claims that aren’t backed up by anything and resorting to insults when asked for an actual citation.
The data doesn’t support the claim that the vast majority of accidents on a per mile basis occur while driving close to home rather than on road trips. The DOT also appears to have published on the side of “replacing air travel with driving will result in an increase of fatalities,” [1] so you’re not even right about your other claim.
“It is known” is not a good basis of argumentation.
Vast majority of accidents happen on regular driven known routes not road trips.
I would expect far better from the FAA.
