Despite an ambitious plan by the city to eliminate all traffic deaths by next year, nearly as many people are dying on Chicago roads as when the goal was announced in 2017. The number of yearly injuries and crashes has actually increased since then.
You are right that you pretty much can’t eliminate edge cases, like addicts running in traffic at night.
However, Chicago is notoriously lawless for driving and a lot of these deaths were due to running red lights, lane violations, turning through peds at an intersection, etc. All of those can be addressed pretty effectively.
