Those same ones that managed 19,000 deaths and 2.3 million injuries in just the US in the first 6 months of 2015?

I am guessing there is quite a bit of wiggle room between 1 and 2.3 million for it to play with.

Not to mention of course that all of that evolution has lead to people attempting to text, make phone calls, yelling at the other people in the car, getting high (in the car), eating, putting on makeup and even sometimes putting on their clothes (someone told me they use to change while driving down the a relatively busy and high speed street all the time.) Pretty sure a computer will not be doing most of that.
