    and don’t consider the population of the event, then you can make any event affecting a large population look like an urgent affair when it’s not so urgent

    How is this different from my cigarettes analogy? You’re just arguing it’s not a big deal that hundreds of people are dying on a daily basis, because a lot of people drive.

    rushing for corporations to put their unsafe vehicles on the street should not be rushed

    Fully agreed.

    Human driven cars should be replaced with automation (or even better, automated public transportation) as soon as it’s viable. It’s not yet

    Except that it is. Waymo already has a safer per mile rating than human drivers.
