AbstractAutonomous Vehicles (AVs) are likely to change a great deal about the practical workings of the liability system for auto accidents. However, we cannot know how just yet. Attempts to anticipate the future and preemptively redesign the liability system around its imagined contours are likely to invite error and frustration. Discretion often being the better part of valor, I suggest we muddle through a bit first.

To the Editor.— I noted with interest the commentary on handguns in the May 1986 issue of Pediatrics (1986;77:781-782). The word "epidemic" caught my eye and I would like to know how significant the epidemic is to our children. Is it any where near the epidemic proportions of auto accidents, BMX bike injuries, skateboard injuries, or pornography? With the estimate of 40 to 50 million handguns in the United States it should not be difficult to figure the ratio of injuries or deaths in children per hand gun available.

Two methods are discussed for determining the probable speeds of vehicles involved in accidents, considering the fact that the engineering information needed for the solution is usually imprecisely known.

Automobile safety has become a serious concern to every pediatrician. Of all deaths of children aged 1 to 14 years, 20% are related to auto accidents.1 Several authors have stated that physician involvement in counseling of parents is an integral step in the use of safety seats by parents.2,3 Yet, physician involvement alone is not enough. I have demonstrated this during the past two years in my practice at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, where I am the sole pediatrician.

The report of the Committee on Youth concerning "Drug Abuse in Adolescence" (PEDIATRICS, 44: 131, 1969) has many valid points to make. However, there are several issues which the report raises which concern me. Virtually no mention at all is made of the two prime offenders among the abused drugs:alcohol and tobacco. Simply because their use is legal and their deleterious effects are more of a chronic nature is no reason to ignore them. Far more deaths and chronic, debilitating illness, as well as acute trauma in auto accidents, are caused by these agents than by those mentioned in the report.

As Asher Maoz insightfully points out, governmental involvement in the ascertainment of historical truth—whether in court, by commission of inquiry, or in other ways—is directed at securing approval of a particular historical narrative, as a step toward imposing that narrative, to a greater or lesser extent, on those who disagree with it. This “official version” exists not only for the sorts of questions presented by the cases Maoz discusses, but also with respect to auto accidents, crimes of passion, and all the other historical reconstructions that form the substrate of “facts” upon which legal conclusions and enforceable judgments are predicated.
