Unfortunately it’s all undone by:

• Distracted drivers in their cell phones
• Very large cars. More mass = more damage and less visibility

It’s especially sad when a very large portion of the deaths are kids 0-4 in some residential driveway at a very disproportionate rate:

Edit: for cell phone damage specifically, look at the uptick in deaths following the 2010s on many studies when smartphones became commonplace.
