Pretty much what Kontact said. The only vehicle that has zero possibility of hitting something (or someone) is one that never moves. We as a society have to decide on what cost/risk vs. benefit we are willing to accept for autonomous vehicles, but no matter how hard engineers try, the risks of autonomous vehicles can never be zero - although they may be made much less than for human drivers.
