If you take the humans who fail to design roads safely, fail to maintain roads, fail to fund road repairs, fail to maintain their vehicles, fail to obtain a liscense, and fail to enforce laws, and add them to the drivers and pedestrians that are diminished (in capability), negligent or malfeasant in their driving, I'd say that 98% have human fault.
The 2% balance would be caused by unexpected weather, animals, undetectable automobile defects, and unexpected driver illness.

I would say that the vast majority are caused by humans but animals can cause traffic accidents too. (deer are famous for that, and in Newfoundland be careful of the Moose on the roads they are quite deadly)

As opposed to the percentage caused by what? I'm not really seeing many other possibilities here.

This is a question for Science and Technology, not for metaphysics or epistemology.
But the first answer is dead right as far as attitude goes. What else can you expect by asking that in this forum?

100%. Cats and dogs 0%.

All of them. Cars don't drive themselves.
