I agree. The bigger issue is car accidents with other cars and with pedestrians. That said, I can see the issue raised in the article, which is that scooters are a) a hazard to pedestrians when used on a sidewalk and b) at risk of being hit by cars when used in a road.
I think a solution here would be something along the lines of bike lanes. Could scooters and bikes share a bike lane? Basically, whatever bicycles do should apply to scooters.
