micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Because you can make statistics say anything you want to?
We are an extremely car dependent nation and therefore have more vehicles per capita than most other countries, and drive more miles, leading to more opportunities for vehicle collisions.
Fatalities per 100,000 vehicles, we average below what Europe as a whole does. Europe as a whole averages 19 fatalities per 100,000 cars. The US averages 16.1.
Africa as a whole averages 574 fatalities per 100k cars. Southeast Asia averages 101 per 100k cars. The Americas as a whole average 33 per 100k cars.
And per 100,000 people the US itself varies by state just like Europe does per country. The US ranges from a low of 5.7 per 100,000 people in Rhode Island (on par with France or Canada which both have 5.8) to a high of 26.2 in Mississippi (on par with Ghana).
In line with making "statistics say whatever you want" Not really a great metric. The USA has considerably higher rates of car ownership. It's also more common in the USA to own multiple cars.
