Today, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA released latest traffic fatality numbers in the U.S., estimating 18,720 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in the first half of 2024. This is approximately a 3.2 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. While any reduction in fatalities is encouraging, we still lose over 100 people a day on our nation’s roadways. We must take bold action to combat the crisis on our roads which includes implementing technologies to improve safety for all.
