"roadway fatalities have also climbed sharply over the past decade"
If that's true, it doesn't say much good about the effectiveness of all the safety regulations over the years that have added thousands of dollars to the price of a car.

Cell phone use while driving is also sharply up in the past decade. Two decades ago almost nobody had a smartphone. Now I can't drive 5 minutes to the store without seeing someone texting or using their phone.
I'm not at all suggesting it's an easy problem to solve, but if that is the cause of the increase in fatalities, that is the problem we should be attacking.
This isn't rocket science. We could just, you know, do what the Netherlands does.
It’s a proposed possibility that doesn’t defy logic. I am not saying it is reality.
Also, it carries about as much weight as their arguments that safety features aren’t helping reduce fatalities/are driving up car costs. Neither of us is presenting any evidence.
