Yeah - same thing as only 30k /300mn Americans dying in car accidents per year, right?

A rounding error?

The point is human drivers aren't a proportions problem. It's that any unsafe driver is bad.

Adding more safe drivers doesn't lower the risk of unsafe drivers, even if they're a smaller proportion of drivers.

"accident" is a word specifically mentioned by George Carlin as a soft language euphemism for crash or collision.
