Automotive Guide What if We Reduced the Number of Auto Accidents By Half?

By: Lance Winslow

What if we could bring down the number of 40,000 annual highway deaths in the United States? What if we could cut that number by a third in the next five years and a half in the next ten years? Would it be worth the Herculean effort required? Can we afford the increased cost of our automobiles if we did? What would it cost? With the United States Automakers reporting losses of enormous amounts, unions striking and SEC investigations could the industry, which employs millions take another obligation of this magnitude?

What if we had better driver training and more responsibility of the drivers in their SUVs? What if the average American was in less of a hurry all the time, could be slow down the rate of deaths each month? On a given three day weekend we lose more lives to driving accidents which could have been prevented than the entire number of soldiers in the Iraq War. It is true. One weekend.

What if we built into our cars better systems to keep track of the cars around us? What if our cars were communicating with smart roads, which limited our speeds? What if cars had all wheel drive electric motors on each wheel, which added stability controls. What if our cars came with collision avoidance systems? What if all these technologies which currently exist now, where on every new car, without raising the price too much? Think on this.
