Traffic safety in the United States has declined significantly since 2020 due to reduced law enforcement, the influx of illegal immigrants, and policy changes allowing more elderly drivers on roads.

“I began with the story in San Francisco because it illustrates one major reason why driving has become so dangerous and unpleasant in the United States over the last 6 years. Laws simply are not being enforced. Criminals are not being punished.”

The lack of accessible, granular telematics data from vehicles is a significant impediment to conducting effective traffic safety research.

“I would like better tools and better data. That's all.”

Autonomous vehicles are a desirable solution to traffic fatalities because humans are generally poor at driving.

“What it makes me think is bring on the frigin autonomous cars already because I think humans are just pretty bad at driving on average.”
