@ultranurd According to Wikipedia, in 2022 cars killed 42,795 Americans on public roads. That's an undercount, since I also care about deaths in private parking lots and driveways, but whatever. Divide by 52 weeks in a year, that's ~833 deaths each week. So less than COVID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year

This might be a good pitch for urbanists who are horrified by traffic violence, but your average American also ignores car deaths, so maybe that won't help motivate action or introspection for them.
