people who study the traffic safety problem area will generally avoid saying the word "accident", just for your information.

Such an over-long and redundant article. However, they do make a point (twice) that is no longer true:

>Only about 10% of accidents are caused by vehicle error, weather, or another non- human-related event.

Clearly the self-driving feature of more recently-made vehicles is going to, if not already doing so, cause more than 10% of crashes.
