We don't shrug off car accidents. Actually, I feel that driving safety is probably one of the top issues that politicans legislate on (in the form of drunk driving legislation, speed camera legislation, distracted driving, safety requirements, etc etc etc). Insurance companies even offer discounts if you put a device in your vehicle to help support that you drive cautiously.
Cars have more safety features than ever before. They have lane departure warnings, automatic breaking functionality, drowsiness detection, etc.
I'd be more curious to know why we shrug off other things that kill people--like the obesity epidemic--rather than cars.
