Chart: Road accident deaths Source: Wikimedia Commons Chart showing motor vehicle traffic deaths in road accidents, by country. [1990 to 2022] Data source: OECD Data / Road Accidents. data dot OECD dot org. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (15 December 2023). Archived from the original on 6 July 2023. Vertical dimension shows deaths per million inhabitants. Italy, Australia, Japan each start in mid-90s all above 10 or 12 dpm, falling steady before each reaches below 8 dpm, some below 6 dpm, by 2022. UK has shallower trend, starting above 6 dpm in 90s, falling to nearest 4 dpm by 20s. [Italy and France show the sharpest 2020 dips, other countries showing the shallowest upward slopes after that year.] United States begins with France just below 16 dpm in 90s, but where France quickly aligns with other countries, U.S. is still above 14 dpm until 2007, sharply declining into 2011, before flattening and then climbing again thereafter. Russia is an outlier, starting at 22 dpm in 90s, dropping below 20 dpm only to climb again in the aughts to over 22 dpm, then fitfully declining to just below U.S. line only in 2020.

Still haven't spoons to dig into NTSB data:

Nonetheless, would note that traffic fatalities have been more-or-less upward trajectory in the U.S. since deaths per millions bottomed out last decade. U.S. saw sharp increases 2015-16 also. (Admittedly, not as sharp as 2020-21.)
Other countries are on par with declining trends, with most of that decline appearing to happen in the decades before 2010.
Like death by police, death by vehicle has more than just recent history.
