99.9% isn't good enough though. If 1 in 1000 drives leads to a critical crash, cars would be crashing all over the place. Statistically every 1000th car would have a collision at any given time.
I don't think that's how those probabilities work - you can make a mistake that doesn't cause an accident.

Eg, yesterday I was making a left-turn at an uncontrolled residential intersection. I was looking into the sun, and the combination of that and the A-pillar meant I missed an oncoming vehicle and turned directly into its path. That's a bad mistake. It didn't result in an accident/collision because the other driver braked (and then honked which I deserved). Basically luck/other vehicles adjusting means not every mistaken judgement causes a collision.

But if my body was equipped with Lidar not just eyesight I would have observed the vehicle and waited...
