" The statistics however highlight that if we wish to eliminate accidents, then there is only one path to follow, the technology path "

This line could have been a direct quote out of "Brave New World".

How many times have we heard that "only one path" thesis in history?
It always lead to disaster.
Depends on how you read it

I agree with its message but interpreted it as;

reduce accidents (we can't seem to elimnate anything to zero)

and

There is far more room in technology improvements per year than reducing human error per year.

and

Since a human is likely to still be involved for the direction that they provide to using the technology, we still have to keep them in the loop or they will cancel out the technology improvements.

We should strive to make human error less critical.
