I suspect likely to become a _less_ regular occurrence. Driverless cars
never fall asleep, and they always know where they are going. It's lack
of concentration and unexpected ends that put most cars in hedges.

ATM driverless cars lack the ability to anticipate all the idiot things drivers
do.

ATM, yes. By the time they get to production they'll have to be able to
survive class action lawsuits against the manufacturer. Imagine if
someone proved Ford liable for several deaths owing to a SW defect? It
would break the company. Driverless cars will be much safer. But not, as
you say, ATM.
