I am not american. I’m from Sweden. The point is it it is silly to claim the goal is zero accients since the only way to achieve that is by removing cars. We all agree they are useful. The goal should be to have as few accidents as possible.
Being from Sweden or America has no bearing on what I wrote.

That isn't true either. When you replace one form of transportation with another you will still have accidents. Maybe more, maybe less, maybe different. But they will be there.

Indeed, and that is what TFA is all about. It is emphatically not about 'buses, trains, ambulances, fire trucks' because those do not normally appear in the guise of a 2500 Kg pickup truck with limited visibility for urban deployment. If you wanted to make a reasonable case I would suggest an alternative: a minivan.
