Yeah, but it's the kind of death toll that politicians like. The deaths trickle in isolated, local, regularly. It's been this way for a long time. It is the accepted risk.

But the actually ridiculous death toll is what is supposed to usher in the self-driving cars and other driver assistance technologies. I can't help but think this is an area needing a heavy regulatory hand to intervene, but it seems like the technology is pretty close to being there.
