I worked in some fully autonomous car projects back in ~2010. I would say every single company and the industry at large felt HUGE pressure to not have any incidents, as a single bad incident from one company can wreck the entire initiative.

Which is ironic as human driven vehicle collisions are so common-place that they don't even make the news.

Right, but humans are never marketed as infallible, nor do you pay big bucks for them. You just are one already, and you know the limitations of humans.
