With self driving cars they often claim a reduction in accidents although we have seen a few recently.
More cars have anti collision systems, auto braking and steering when it detects and imminent impact.
Does this make a car safer or just make a driver more complacent?
Will they succeed in making the "uncrashable car" where all driver error is taken care of?
Obviously other factors external to the car could cause a crash and it would be impossible to rule these out, along with mechanical failure such as a wheel falling off. But is is possible to rule out all driver error as a cause for a crash using automatic systems?
