What caused the crash? Would a driver have been able to foresee it and avoid it without danger to anyone else?

A 4 mph trial run, best time for finding out snags.

You could do that now if you had any willing friends to drive you home afterwards.

Let's number crunch this one.

Today a driverless* car crashed at 4mph, no one was hurt.

Today there were 27,000 crashes of non driverless cars.
Today 3,500 people died in accidents involving non driverless cars.

Where do you get ''perfect'' driverless car from?
It clearly says it was on a run trial by the two engineers so it was far from ''perfect'' !

TTT around 125 Million people are killed every year on the roads worldwide
http://www.who.int/gho/road_safety/mortality/en/
That is 342,465 per day ! Figures were from 2013 so it will be higher now!
Gromit's estimate was 100 times too low!
Your estimate of 1750 per year was 2,000 times too low!!!!

Granted it's "only" 2000 a year, or so, but that's basically the same number for all practical purposes so I can't say that it makes the point any less relevant. Humans on the road are unsafe and cause a great deal more accidents than is necessary.

No one mentioned the UK , the story is about Singapore so world wide figures are more appropriate !

Eddie,
1.3 million people die in road accidents every year. Not 125 million.
