I don't think those facts are incompatible. 1) You would need self driven cars to drive over 100 million miles to validate that, assuming that there have been no deaths from full 'self driving' (i.e. Cruise/Waymo rather than Tesla, which isn't level 4) 2) Depends what you call a crash - 1 impact per 5 years might not be entirely wrong... According to this link: https://1800lionlaw.com/how-many-times-will-your-crash-you-car-in-your-lifetime/ https://1800lionlaw.com/how-many-times-will-your-crash-you-c... > The car insurance industry estimates that the average driver will file a claim for a collision about once every 17.9 years. This matches me - I've had 1 crash in 15 years of driving which resulted in a claim (someone drove into the side of me), but there have been at least 2 other impacts which have not resulted in a claim (1 person bumped into the back of my car on a motorway and impacted but but no damage, and there was one incident where I accidentally scraped a car when parking and I agreed to pay the driver for repainting directly without going through insurance).
