This is an excellent example of how technological innovation can overcome the negative consequences of technological innovation.
The automobile was clearly one of the most important innovations of the last two centuries, but it also undoubtedly killed many people. Rather than banning cars, we instead innovated new technologies to make them safer (ABS braking, seat belts, airbags, driver assist technologies, etc).
Also note that fewer kids are “playing in the streets” these days. Fewer bicycles and more video games.
