I find this statistic highly suspect.  I don&#x27;t know of a single person that had a car for 100,000 miles and didn&#x27;t have some type of accident.<p>I suspect those average numbers are being skewed by the rural drivers who rack up lots of miles without interaction with other cars.<p>San Francisco averages 6.4 years between accidents.

And, while the Google car isn&#x27;t driving San Francisco, the Santa Clara area isn&#x27;t that much more benign.
