Can you do me a favor, and research that "likely" part a bit before you jump to conclusions? Also try and factor in what happens in vehicle to vehicle accidents compared to vehicle to human accidents?

The point is that even if you are correct about the significantly more cars hitting other cars rather than pedestrians (which needs data to back it up ), if most of those pedestrians get killed in the encounter and most of the vehicle occupants are comparatively ok, then what?
