> Just to be clear, and I don’t think you said otherwise, that 5k number is only pedestrian deaths

I clearly wrote "pedestrian/car deaths" and linked to a source that clearly explained it. I'm not sure how else to put it.

Here's a better answer [1]: 21 fatalities per 100M vehicle miles of travel in 1923 to 1.36 in 2007. That should completely answer the request for a source.
