... at the same time Sweden decided to move from the lowest level of road fatalities to 0 (ZERO).

@FF

You should have look into materials on their website, they have explanation and plan how they would like to achieve "zero fatality and serious injury" in Sweden, although it from the first glance sounds surreal:

"Huge potential
There are other positive effects. Fatalities involving unprotected pedestrians in Sweden have fallen by almost 50% in the last five years. The number of children killed in traffic accidents has also been cut. In 2008 the first traffic death involving a child did not occur until 22 October that year. And yet, the untapped potential remains huge. In Sweden, we could cut the death toll by a further 90% if we could eliminate technical system failures, failure to wear seat belts, speeding and drink driving - from 5 deaths per 100,000 to 0.5. This is what the Vision Zero is about: looking forward and creating strategies to take safety to new levels."

UK in the meantime has achieved even slightly lower toll than Sweden.
So 90% reduction using some technological advances may be feasible.

Look into new concept dynamic laser headlights that has been just presented by BMW at CES, it's about those things too:
