A man is dead after being hit by a car in Midtown.

The crash happened on the 10 Freeway in Fontana

Investigators tell us there is a possibility

Eye witnesses say it appeared the driver didn't realize

he had struck the boy and his mother until it was too late.

These are only a few of the estimated 38,800 deaths

He's a visiting fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School

and first wrote about this technology for CityLab.

What is the risk for people in the United States

Fatalities have gone down over the last decade

but they've spiked for pedestrians and for cyclists,

between 30% and 45% over the last decade.

And meanwhile, if you compare the United States

to other OECD countries, other Western countries

especially in Europe, we're doing much worse.

And those risks are not spread out evenly.

as a cyclist or a pedestrian, they tend to be minorities,

they tend to be elderly, they often are low income.

So, this is actually an equity issue as much as a safety one.

to address these issues, adopting safer street initiatives

around improving crosswalks and lowering speed limits.

The reality is when two tons of glass, metal and plastic

it's the human who's going to lose every single time.

You know, one of the things we just did recently

with technologies that are already out there today.

and car companies play off of those sorts of ideas

that an automobile lets you go quickly and independently.

I'm reminded of an advertisement for the Dodge Charger

when I was watching the Super Bowl a few years ago.

It really plays on these ideas of being American.

about how automobiles sell this concept of speed,

urban speed in particular, through their products.

I mean, when you sort of look back at history,

the automobile really showed up in American cities.

for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation

and as she explains, lowering the speed of vehicles

that is traveling 20 miles an hour or slower,

you have a 80% to 90% chance of surviving that crash

especially vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists safe

The problem is that they can violate that speed limit.
