With so many cars on the same roads, there will be traffic jams, gridlock, and (most importantly) car accidents, both fatal accidents and those that cause severe injuries.

The number of people who die or get hurt in car accidents in the United States has gone up a lot over time. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), around 38,000 people were killed in car accidents across the United States in 2019.

These car accidents happen for various reasons, but the most common ones are when people drink and drive, aren’t paying attention, speed, or don’t follow road rules at all.
