According to the National Safety Council, over 110,000 Americans lose their lives in traffic-related accidents every year. In the state of California alone, these disasters have caused at least 3,898 deaths and 2,710,000 injuries.

In recent years, it has been reported that the death rate has increased by an average of 23.5% per year since 2013, and these trends are expected to continue into the foreseeable future as well.
