It is very likely that when technology progresses to the point that vehicles can drive fully autonomously, without any input from a human, fatalities from distracted driving will go down enormously. They may even be eliminated altogether.
Drunk driving continues to be a widespread problem
Despite legislative efforts by the government and widespread public awareness campaigns, drunk driving remains a huge problem across the United States and some experts think more could be done to prevent fatal crashes involving alcohol. While the overall number of people killed in drunk driving accidents has decreased over the last several decades, according to the Washington Post, approximately one-third of accident deaths today are still alcohol-related.
