You have the right idea, but your injury costs, deaths, and sensor costs are both wrong and based on the summary. If you RTFA it's 200+ deaths a year and 15 thousand injuries (not 1100), so we're talking almost $550M right there based on your back of a napkin numbers.
Even the government may be stereotyped as stupid but they are surely able to do this kind of cost/benefit analysis better than a random anon post.
