Of course. But this happens ALL THE TIME now.
Removing most of the problem, ie. human error when driving and you reduce massively the accidents and costs of accidents.
"More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error."

Dude... This already happens multi times every hour around the world. What's your point? That it will still happen with robot cars? It might, but it'll happen only rarely rather than the whole fookin time.

I don't see why it is unlikely
Yeah, it's not. EdZ is just making it sound as though that's what we're saying.
What we're actually saying is that it'll be a hell of a lot less likely, so we breathlessly await the Coming Of Our Robocar Overlords.
Edit: the other two got there first. I bet they are ACTUAL ROBOTS and that's how they did it so fast.

It seems probable to me that, at some point, a human will do something unpredictable (possibly on purpose) that will cause an unavoidable accident. With trillions of mile driven every year I don't see why it is unlikely that there is at least one incident where there is potential injury to one party or another and the action of the car will define which get injured.
