Getting there means the safe-system measures already used in the safest countries are applied worldwide, and that driver assistance and driverless vehicles remove most human error. Success would be measured in annual deaths falling from over a million towards a few thousand.

What it brings

  • Walking, cycling and motorcycling as safe as other daily activities
  • Fast-growing cities that do not pay for mobility with lives
