That number has only been getting larger.
A travesty against an uneducated public. Car makers think it is ok to call for help just because you had a flat. Ridiculous. Run flat tires are such a waste of money and they don't get you any further than just to a safe place to pull off. You are still stranded and waiting for a tow truck. And they cost a fortune every 30,000 miles when they wear out. Buyers need to start a counter revolution and refuse to buy any new car that doesn't at least come with a donut.
