Maybe the answer is self driving cars that via sensors are less likely to make these types of errors.

Exactly! Punishing people after accidents, however much at fault they may be, is far less important or useful than preventing them in the first place.

I wish more people would invest more energy into prevention than catching the bad guy after the fact.

Cameras are a great CYA, but they are not going to prevent crime & accidents from happening.

Punishing someone from running away from an accident, however, is important. These people are not good for society and we need to make them a pariah, so people push away from that behavior.

continued human operation of commuter motor vehicles is a bug not a feature
