Paraphrasing Tolstoi, every accident is different in its own way. I see that approach as unscalable as current antivirus companies. Making a blacklist of every possible accident condition is as foolish as making a blacklist of every possible harmful Turing-complete program.



On the contrary, there are more common types of accidents and learning from those will prevent future incidents with some probability.


Do you have any evidence to support your claim that "every accident is different in its own way?"


When you learned to drive, was there a big book of every accident to avoid? Or did you slowly learn the overall patterns, from experience and near-misses?

I'm being facetious, but you get the idea.
