So each year ~5M new cars hit the streets,
at an extra $140 each,
so the cost is ~$700M/yr.
There are 210 deaths/yr by backing over,
assume these prevent all 210 (they won't, certainly not until most of the old cars are off the road),
this means each life is worth $3.3M, minimum.
Cool.
But is there a way to invest $700M/yr that will save more than 210 lives/year?
