The next day when I talked to Mike, he was explaining that one point two million Americans die every year.
I said it's considerably less than that.
That was the worldwide one.
It'd be an epidemic.
Everyone you know would know somebody who died that day on the road if it was that those kind of numbers.
But all right.
So it's thirty four thousand people die each year on the roads and whatever number of pedestrians, cyclists and joggers.
If we can cut that number down by one person, then this is great technology.
I'm assuming we'll cut into it.
20-fold, 50-fold.
And this other sort of thought, which is, hey, if one cyclist dies, even if they just didn't look right and didn't look left and had their earbuds on and walked in front of the car, then it's not worth it.
It's horrible thinking because we're here to save lives.
We're here to reduce the number.
All the heroes that go, you tell that to the family of this one person.
It's like, all right, but tell it to the family to the 34,000 people who die every year on the highways.
And yes, I will add the byways, even though I'm not sure what they are.
I think that was a byway.
I know freeways and highways.
I'm not sure.
Maybe that was a byway.
