> The average US driver has 1 accident per 165000 miles (which, like the unusual tendency for the Google car to get bumped when stopping at junctions, may or may not be their fault) and that's including DUI as well as people driving in slightly more difficult conditions than sunny surburban California.
The average driver doesn't do all city miles and that's why Google's cars have gotten bumped. Highway driving is much easier to automate (several cars already do this today) and makes up a large percentage of total miles driven.
