Cherrypicked raw death counts are a lobbyist measuring scheme, not social science.

For example, if self-driving cars end up being prone to hitting children darting out on to city streets in new and unpredictable ways, then you have created impediments to the growth and development of children that did not previously exist. Would this be balanced by enhanced safety in other situations? Maybe.

These are complex topics like whether and how long schools should have stayed closed during COVID. Balancing the death and disability effects largely falling on adults vs. the educational interests of children.

"what matters are the numbers in aggregate" is the opposite of cherrypicking. One of those numbers would be the level of danger around children.

The unitless number for driving into oncoming traffic wasn't supposed to be a real stat.
