That's a bizarre metric for measuring the information of cars/brands - fatality complaint per cardinal miles. With specified a metric, each twelvemonth you volition get a Top 10 database with random cars/brands successful the list. Hyundai Venue (which precise apt sells successful debased numbers successful USA) astatine the apical spot shows the randomness of this table.

I deliberation this metric is borrowed from craft information which is measured successful fatality complaint per 100,000 formation hours.
