I beg your pardon, we don't "accept" automobile deaths.
Automakers spend billions of dollars a year in technology to avoids collisions and protect passengers when they happen.
Cities likewise spend billions mitigating traffic flow, improving signage, and upgrading roads. https://twitter.com/claytravis/status/1287768925711863813

The amount of money, time, and resources our society spends preventing motor vehicle collision deaths is enormous, and it also is effective. Collision deaths have been falling for several years now even as vehicle usage has gone up. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32388179/us-vehicle-fatalities-down-2019/
The amount of money we are spending limiting capacity in retail establishments, wearing masks, and researching vaccines for COVID-19 is certainly large.
But it won't even be close to the amount we spend in the next 20-25 years preventing motor vehicle deaths.

The only difference, @ClayTravis, is you're *used* to all the resources we spend preventing road deaths — you had to get a license, registration, insurance, follow signs and police instructions, pay car companies thousands for safety features & the govt thousands for safe roads.
Somehow you don't think of all those burdensome restrictions, which you've been doing all your life and have cumulatively cost you a lot more than COVID safety measures ever have, of "living life afraid of death."
Ask yourself why that is.
