How Road Barriers Stopped Killing Drivers

We've gotten way better at the engineering and design of road barriers — often in surprising ways — to dramatically reduce driving deaths. To understand crash costs better, NPR has a great podcast on how life is valued: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/15/835571... - - - - 🌟 🌟 UPDATE: Dec 12, 2023 🌟 🌟 New video is out!
