Thanks.

In reality, a simple quotient misses important factors, chiefly miles driven. If younger people drive more miles relatively than older people, the deaths per driven mile metric may show a different story.

In addition, type of miles driven is important: highway vs local vs city.

For now, the old folks have fewer deaths per driver than the youngsters.

This is a bad idea. What if grandma is being chased by a criminal? Will HAL kill power? If it turns out this tech has a bias and redlines, say, older women, it’ll get bad press and go out of style.

Exactly, the figures presented are meaningless otherwise.
