What does the attention we give to automobile deaths say about us?

 I had saved an article to share that asked this exact question. One of the things that is amazing is that we normalize death as long as it comes in the form of a car accident. It is normal, we read about it all the time, yet for some reason it doesn't phase us. 

What's even more disturbing is the increase in deaths by pedestrians which is growing, of which is highlighted in this article by a AAA chapter. 

Given our current climate predicament, what people should be doing more of (walking and biking), is increasingly dangerous. A conundrum indeed.
