The safest day to be on the road: Tuesday. The most dangerous? Saturday.
That's according to a new study by Avvo, an online legal referral and review site, which analyzed data from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System in 2016 on how many car crash-related fatalities happened across the country by weekday and time of day.
The analysis found that 6,802 lives were lost on Saturday out of the 37,461 road deaths that occurred in 2016. That was 53% higher than the 4,444 deaths that happened on a Tuesday, the day with the least number of crash-related fatalities.
The second and third deadliest days were also associated with the weekend: Friday (5,826) and Sunday (5,809).

Top Safest Stocks To Own Right Now: Daimler AG (DDAIF)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
I expect that other competitors, such as Uber, Lyft, GM (GM), Ford (F), Mercedes (OTCPK:DDAIF), and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) (so far undeclared) will also go aggressively after the ARS market. Some traditional car manufactures, like Jaguar and Chrysler, may provide "dumb cars" to technology companies that will retrofit them into autonomous vehicles. This may not be the case for all, however. Ford, GM, and Mercedes have stated their strategies to develop a complete autonomous ride service platform using their own autonomous capabilities.

The recent news that Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (OTCPK:GELYF) has taken an approximate 10% share in Daimler AG (OTCPK:DDAIF) has shaken up the market. Geely already owns Volvo (OTCPK:VOLVY) cars and is a growing company investors might like to study carefully. Daimler already has a partnership with major auto manufacturer BAIC Motor Corp. (OTC:BCCMY) and with BYD. The joint venture with BYD has achieved little and this tie-up with Geely is seen as a source of some concern for BYD.
