Yeah I noticed that fatalities-per-billion VKT stat. One thing is that it's improved since the 2016 year that the Wikipedia data is from. In 2018 Australia's figure was 4.3, 7th on the list (though the UK isn't included in that report - recent UK figures seem hard to find). Australia's figure was better than the OECD average and much of Europe. But a reason for Australia's fatalities per billion VKT figure being so much higher than the UK would be its vastness, and the distances some people need travel in remote ares. According to this report [1] (see fig 1.1 - page 3), Australia's fatality rate increases dramatically the more remote you go. Presumably it's a combination of fatigue, the quality of roads and low police presence that leads to more dangerous conditions in remote areas. As for the rest of your comment, there's a huge assumption in all this that Amazon's primary goal here is punishing drivers, rather than just detecting if they're tired and activating a warning signal for their own safety. And surely as the training data includes all the drivers in their network it will become more accurate.
