So, we really have two extremely reliable components of the paradox.
a. Cellphone ownership has been going explosively up in the USA,

Hence, the paradox.
Where are all the accidents?

Presumably things like modern safety features in vehicles and the massive
push against drunk driving (which 40 years ago was considered acceptable
behaviour around here) have dramatically reduced the number of accidents,
at the same time that cellphone use has increased it.

It's hard to get good data, though, when there are just so many different
inputs into the system.
