Four hundred car crashes in the last 10 months.  This is data only collected to test safety.  It is does not imply that driver-less systems are worse (or better) than human drivers, and it doesn't intend to imply that.  Collecting the data is for a totally different purpose.

"Crashes on our roads are equivalent to several plane crashes every week," he added. "Comparison is not necessarily what we want. If there are crashes these driving systems are contributing to — crashes that otherwise would not have happened — that is a potentially fixable problem that we need to know about."

Very expressive experimentation on safety.

Help me through this maze: only if adequately large enough number of cars must be on traffic for this system to work effectively and efficiently, in contrast to little or no plane crashed Vs road crashes.
