Quite the contrary, traffic deaths are down to record setting lows, even accounting for how many more millions of miles are accrued/year.

Which is why I brought up the subject. The people I listen to and read can be wrong at times.
Perhaps the commentary I was feeding off of was about the possibility that we are being forced into progressively smaller and lighter vehicles, some with massive battery packs, that may be destroyed by similarly new but larger cars. I imagine a 7 Series BMW would do somewhat better than a Mercedes...Smart Car or a Prius.
