A recent study published in the Nature scientific journal suggests that while autonomous vehicles have become increasingly good at driving thanks to powerful software and sensors, however, there are certain scenarios in which humans still drive better. The study, which analysed over 37,000 accidents involving autonomous (and ADAS-assisted) vehicles against human-driven vehicles, concluded that autonomous vehicles were generally less prone to accidents than those driven by humans, but they still
