I was trying to figure out how in the world these accidents happen and then I remembered the poor sods unlucky enough to live where they have to park on the street. Putting bicycles and automobiles on the same road seems like madness in general. I wonder if modern cars with lane-keeping and other such sensor equipment are programmed to check and warn for oncoming cyclists.

I must be mad, riding my bicycle daily, on the same roads as cars for more than 15 years. 0 accidents. By the way, the simplest way to avoid a dooring accident is not to ride on the door zone. When I see a bike-only lane next to parked cars I take it as an indication of where not to ride. They make bike-only infrastructure to kick us off the roads anyway, not for safety.
