What happens when it doesn't. Is their a provision to end the program if it doesnt make certain targeted goals? No? Of course not! That would be data driven legislation.
That's also a pathetically low number given the size of the population.
In the US alone, over 3 million people die every year. That means even by their most wildly optimistic, straight-from-the-ass estimates, it will only reduce deaths by 0.3%.
Does that sound worth it to you to give up your freedom?
That's not how many car deaths per year, in the us it is in the 40,000 range for the last several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
Not sure where three million came from.
