AB Accidents,  or  unintentional  injuries,  are  the  fourth  leading  cause  of  death  in  the  United  States  and  the  leading  cause  of  death  for  those  aged  1  to  44  years.  As  of  2015,  motor  vehicle  accidents  (MVAs)  were  the  leading  cause  of  death  in  humans  in  their  first  three  decades,  with  35,000  people  killed  and  2.3  million  injured  every  year.  Globally,  approximately  1.3  million  humans  die  every  year  and  over  20  million  sustain  nonfatal  injuries  from  road  traffic  accidents.  In  2016,  road  traffic  accidents  were  the  eighth  leading  cause  of  death  and  estimated  to  be  the  fifth  leading  cause  of  death  by  2030.  The  economic  impact  for  MVAs  is  around  $230  billion  in  the  United  States  and  €180  billion  in  the  European  Union.  The  global  losses  due  to  road  traffic  injuries  are  estimated  to  be  $518  billion  and  cost  governments  between  1%  and  3%  of  their  gross  domestic  product.
