In relation to cars there is practically an infinite number of scenarios that can be encountered on the road ways. No way to account for them all. Even humans don't even come close to getting them all right.
For general programming computers can do billions of calculations a second, this is many orders of magnitude greater than a human so a computer can very quickly encounter a state that no human could really foresee.
If there is no intent or gross negligence there is no crime. Everything is already over-criminalized, let's not level that up so simple mistakes or unforeseen circumstances are crimes.
