Improvements to vehicle design is bringing auto accident death rates down
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has conducted a study to measure how improvements to the structural design in new cars and the implementation of safety technology has caused the risk of dying in a car crash to decrease significantly over the past few years. For the 2011 models, there were 28 driver deaths per million registered vehicle years, which is down from 48 deaths for 2008 models.

- Distracted driving
