Autonomous vehicles are rarely at fault in accidents, but they're involved in more total accidents than most experienced drivers. The theory is that their strict adherence to traffic laws causes human drivers to hit them more often.

Which means it's not the self driving car that has the issue, that's the human drivers that are wrong here.

Which also means or at least insinuates if there were no human drivers, we'd be much safer off, right? And we're still in the infancy stages of this, it'll obviously be better 10, 20, 50 years from now.

Yes.

Yes, but if you're involved in more total accidents - even if they're not your fault - you're going to have problems.

Yes, in all likelihood, it will be much better down the road. It's still a major concern at the moment though.
