The interesting question for me is if self driving type tech will be able to fix this. I mean things along the lines of Tesla fsd are probably worse than humans at the moment but improving in an exponential manner year on year and if they get 50% better each year in terms of miles between accidents then within a decade they'll be much safer than humans.

You wouldn't have to have self drive on but it could still break etc if you looked like hitting something.

Probably also the tech will get cheaper and become widespread. It'll be interesting to see.
