You can argue with the evidence if you want to but it is offered right there, at the top of the article.
The amount of lives saved isn't what I was interested in. I was interested in the purportedly added cost. US car safety regulations are toothless compared to the EU. That's partially why our roads are filled with monster truck sized pedestrian flatteners.
I see - so you’re arguing with the Republican premise that safety features add cost. It seems obvious that more features will add some cost, but how much is the question. The number of lives saved is also pretty important to understanding that cost, I would add.
Naturally the GOP are trying to deflect general economic outrage at Democrats and “nanny state” regulators any way they can.
