Ok, let's check that...
Quote"According to the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.35 million deaths worldwide in 2016.[2] That is, one person is killed every 26 seconds on average."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate
So let's take that number which takes all traffic deaths, not just with cars, so trains, planes, ships, bicycles... everything, and x80 it for 80 years since cars became widely popular and a reachable goal for most of the planet, not just something for ultra-rich like in the 1910s or so. We are at 108,000,000 deaths which is obviously extreme number because there wasn't 100% sure 1.35M yearly deaths back in the 1950s or the 60s. But let's take that because of how high it is.
World War 1: 17,000,000 deaths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I)
World War 2: 73,000,000 deaths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II)
Total deaths in two WWs: 90,000,000
Bold of you to assume that only cars are doing those 108M deaths and that there was less than 18M additional deaths in all other conflicts and wars since since the beginning of humanity when only in the Vietnam War there was between 1,326,494 and 3,447,494 deaths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War).
