If you want to reduce death tolls, focus on self-driving cars. Auto accidents kill more people in the USA every month than 9/11 killed as a one-off. Worldwide it's the equivalent of something between the Congo war and the Vietnam war every year. A first world war sized death toll every five or six years.
