Oh absolutely. For example, Google's automatic cars (the modified Prius and Lexus SUV's) look in all directions at once, with three different kinds of sensors. A human can only look in one direction.
The few fender-benders that Google's cars have been involved in are all results of other cars rear-ending it - never the fault of the autonomous vehicle.
In 100 years, we will look back with absolute absurdity that humans were permitted to operate heavy, powerful craft like these at speeds this high in such close proximity (both to other cars and to other modes of transport, like pedestrians and cyclists) with no automatic control or safety systems layered over top.
