I’m guessing it’s arguable, but in the top 25 causes of accidents (in the US), I only found 2 that are linked to the car itself. Cars themselves seem fairly safe.

Indeed, in a car accident, the car itself is rarely to blame.

But that was not my point.

At the end of the day, no matter how well it's built, a car is a several tons lump of steel launched at significant speed. It's an inherently deadly machine.

Having a lapse of attention while driving a car? you might easily cause a someone to die.

Having the same lapse on a bike? you might cause some broken bones.

Having the same lapse while walking? you are good for some "Oh... I'm sorry".
