Here’s some data as of a few years ago.
US has over 800 cars per 1000 people. China has less then 100.
Makes their death rate even worse.
The Russians are pretty bad too. From what I’ve seen on youtube, the favorite manuever for Russian drivers is making a left turn from the far right lane, crossing all 4 lanes and inevitably getting T boned.

As Hillary would say, “Just some bumps in the road (i.e. population)”. “What difference does it make”?
Crunch all you want, we’ll make more.
On average in 2012, 92 people were killed on the roadways of the U.S. each day,
in 30,800 fatal crashes during the year.

How can we up that number?
>>Here we all grew up with cars
Worth repeating.
And further, many of us are old enough that when young, we were standing in the back seat, legs astride the driveshaft hump, arms over the middle of the front bench seat, with a great view of the proceedings while mom or dad motored along. This made the transition to driver much easier.
Would be cheaper here too. Killing by car here always gets less time than with a hand weapon.

That took me a minute!
