In 2022, there were 42,795 traffic fatalities in the U.S.
More than 90% involved human error.
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Impaired driving
• Fatigue
• Reckless decisions

In most of our lifetimes, we'll likely watch that number fall into the thousands.
Then the hundreds.

• Cancer
• Heart disease
• Suicide
• Loneliness
• Addiction

Some opportunities are still worth our attention.
"Resisting autonomous driving" probably isn't one of them.
