Detroit Traffic 1907 |
"The very first fatalities caused by automobiles were protested in the streets as the tragedies they were. Mayors issued proclamations
for public mourning. Contrast this to today, where Americans tolerate
over 40,000 deaths per year from motor vehicles as an acceptable loss to
be grieved in private."
