As long as there are people in control of vehicles on the road, the roads will never be 100% safe. Eventually, once all the manual cars wind up in the salvage yards and all that remains on the roads are autonomous vehicles, even then it won't be 100 percent safe but only safer.

Malfunctions or other objects such as pedestrians or deer crossing the road and such could throw a variables at the algorithms but hopefully, they will be programmed for evasive maneuvers and accident avoidance and idea is that they will be able to handle them without the panic that we humans experience in such situations. More like Mr. Spock of Star Trek.
