This would save 0 lives. If you look at fatal crashes, 90% are on normal streets with speed limits of under 45 mph. I looked into this when i was hit by a drunk driver that died at the scene.
Car don't hurt people. Idiots hurt people.. What we need is stricter regulations and better training before you can get a drivers license. Kids can take drivers ed which teaches them how to drive around in a parking lot. Adults need ZERO training. Seriously folks.. We're talking about 3000-8000 lbs of steel and plastic.
50 hrs of intense behind the wheel training should be the bare minimum then you should be required to take classes every couple of yrs to practice those skills..
This country loves blaming objects for peoples stupidity. Don't blame the cars when humans are the problem..
