[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel sorry for the automakers, no one buying their EVs and now people will be suing them over deaths from accidents.

Before you all go nuts it is really a good analogy.   It is estimated that about 40% of single car fatal accidents are suicides.  Smart people commit suicide this way because insurance companies won’t hesitate to pay out vs those gun suicides.   The rest of the deaths are clearly the cars fault just like shootings are the fault of the gun. [/quote]

Really common knowledge. Here is one that estimates on the low side - https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.1176/ajp.134.2.175?journalCode=ajp#:~:text=A%20fo%2D%20rensic%20pathologist%20has,as%2030%25%20(1).

Point is that a percentage of auto deaths are suicide, same as gun deaths.  Guns kill the same way as guns kill by human action.

Nowhere near the wild claim of 40% and even the 1.7% of fatal is largely speculative.  I count the claim to be a fail.[/quote]
