Pedestrian casualties per vehicle-distance is not a useful metric no
matter how much the tables try to break it down.

What is or isn't a useful metric all depends on the question it is
intended to answer.

To know how far vehicles can be driven before a pedestrian is hurt, the
best question I can think of is to ask whether a spreadsheet is capable
of doing long division.


I would expect a spreadsheet to use cpu (fpu?) microcode. I'm pretty
sure they don't use long division but use a faster algorithm for division.
