Giulia, thanks for this. I appreciate anything that can be done to reduce traffic deaths. In fact, I would like to see them eliminated in our lifetimes with the use of specially designed cars - for instance, with each seat being self-contained in a sort of clear, resilient, padded, egg-shaped pod that could not be crushed but would eject and roll to saftey. It would be fire-proof and also, it would float. Also, cars must use computer-controlled guidance systems to prevent crashes. And always, mass-transportation can be increased and improved. Another idea is to make urban villages that are self-sufficient, requiring less driving. There could also be a renmewed use of draft animals such as horses, on roads designed specifically for them.

Please tell me: are safety belts routinely used in Italy? They are almost universally used in the U.S. these days, and I have always worn my seatbelt without even thinking about it.

Love,
Dave
