The top three causes of preventable fatal injury in the US are:
- poisoning (including drug overdoses)
- motor vehicles
- falls
We might generalize these to:
- chemistry
- engineering
- physics
im pretty sure the engineering is not at fault for most car accidents.
thats true, but we got to agree N°3 is solely Isaac Newton's fault, for inventing gravity
I'll never forget the last thing grandpa ever said to me:
"Stop shaking the ladder, you little shit!"
Sure, but neither is the chemist at fault when someone drinks bleach.
What about the chemical engineers creating fuels that turn out environments into toxic hellholds? Where does all of the pollution in the world come from?
We could use engineering controls to limit the speed of consumer vehicles to 10 mph, still faster than a human can walk, but slow enough that most deadly accidents could be avoided.
Then establish administrative controls to have public transportation or other professional drivers (taxi operators) have "unlocked" vehicles. They would be required to have routine training and testing to keep their unlocked license.
#1 Distracted Driving. ...
#2 Drunk and Drugged Driving. ...
#3 Poor Weather. ...
#4 Reckless Driving and Road Rage. ...
#5 Speeding. ...
limiting speed would not affect the leading 4 causes of car accidents
It would affect fatal injury car accidents. A driver would have to be holding a knife pointed at their jugular to be killed in a 10 mph wreck (20 mph total relative speed of get hit another 10 mph limited car).
The third is more gravity than physics, or perhaps you should consider it the absence of gravity.
What I'm trying to say is: stop following geodesics.
