Passenger vehicles are by far the most dangerous motorized transportation option compared. Over the last 10 years, passenger vehicle death rate per 100,000,000 passenger miles was over 20 times higher than for buses, 17 times higher than for passenger trains, and 595 times higher than for scheduled airlines. Other comparisons are possible based on passenger trips, vehicle miles, or vehicle trips, but passenger miles is the most commonly used basis for comparing the safety of various modes of travel.
There are multiple considerations here. Here are two:
First: these numbers are absolute, not percentages. What makes you think if only buses, trains and trucks are driven the numbers of deaths won’t rise?
Second: there are many things we do that have higher risks than driving and kill kids. Do you think we should ban them all? Or only driving because you’ve been brainwashed to believe it’s the cause of all suffering for humanity?
I can come up in two minutes with a dystopian setting where we all live in pods and eat bugs. That’ll probably minimize deaths. Would you like to have that “safe” future?

Those aren’t absolute rates, those are effectively per capita
Per capita, not per type of vehicle. My point still stands.
Also, don’t evade the questions. Otherwise enjoy the bugs in a pod while you’re safe and don’t complain about those who seek freedom.
