New research by the Times shows that thousands of fatal crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided with lower hood heights and improved visibility.
The tool does affect the result, though. It’s like stories of mass violence across the world: here in the US, you see a headline like “mass shooting, 10 dead 1 wounded”. In places like China, you see headlines like “mass stabbing, 1 dead 10 wounded”.
Shitty drivers will always exist, but a shitty driver in a reasonable car is gonna be a lot less effective at manslaughter.
