The question is not will robo-cars have accidents (they will); its will they have them much less than humans. They're already safer than human drivers and will only get more so.

Imagine believing that "driverless" cars that have to be taken over by wage slaves from the Phillipines anytime they see a strange looking rock and "can't be expected to follow" basic vehicle laws are better than human drivers.

I'm amazed these kinds of accidents even still happen. It cannot be that hard to make, "don't run into things" take priority over, "stay in your lane unless changed properly or safe alternative identified", yet here we are.

Unless their sensors are that bad, but... why so much kit if it sucks?
