Original Note:
This misrepresents the original article's position. The Times does not in fact "place the blame" on smartphones. It notes many other possible causes or contributing factors, including high speed limits, car size, pedestrian infrastructure, drug use, and population migration. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/11/upshot/nighttime-deaths.html?unlocked_article_code=1.FE0.Sqpi.T7DCrpwXUKQW&smid=url-share
