Yes, the problem is that you don't know the car has done something stupid until after it's already happened. By then, it's likely too late because obstacles on the road are very nearby. It might not solve all these accidents but I think a HUD showing where the car plans to travel would work better. If you knew the car was aiming off the road before it turned, you could override the controls in time to correct. It still would require lots of attention and fast reaction time (and still may be less safe than manual driving), but it would at least be better than the situation we are in now.
