Are electric cars (EV) more dangerous for pedestrians than conventional cars? YouTube video by Z Wadud

I've added a short presentation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXT...

No! These results are 'after' AVAS (mandatory EV noise) - so they worked!! (thanks for sharing the research)

Comparing pedestrian safety between electric and internal combustion engine vehicles - Nature Communications Using UK road safety data, the author finds that electric vehicles are no more dangerous to pedestrians than conventional cars. Specifically, they do not appear to cause more collisions or more severe injuries. However, it’s observed that hybrid vehicles show higher pedestrian collision rates, although the resulting injuries tend to be less severe.

Electric vehicles are no more likely to be involved in pedestrian collisions or cause severe injuries compared to conventional vehicles, according to a study of UK data published in Nature Communications.🧪

Hi, can you please change the figure - this is not the main figure and actually can lead to wrong conclusion (total EV share of casualty naturally going up as EV numbers going up, but the one you need to show is Fig 1 d, which shows "casualty rates" for EVs are similar to ICEVs.) Thanks.
