~42,000 Americans die on our roads every year
Other tremendous costs of our car culture are the anomie, alienation, environmental destruction and mass impoverishment of Americans brought on by the perceived necessity of buying ever-larger, ever-pricier vehicles just to keep from being slaughtered on our roads.
The average weight of American vehicles goes up every year.
This was true even before people started buying EVs which tend to be heavier on account of batteries.
