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.
