In my (limited) experience, a significant factor in horse collision avoidance is velocity - a horse at gallop is actually quite clumsy and should be given a very large margin.
That said - the homing ability of a horse at pub closing time is truly life changing.

Wouldn't that depend on who was doing the drinking? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Our state of the art has finally advanced enough that we can (almost) duplicate one small part of a horse. Is this something to be proud of?

Not really. Over the years, I have met quite a few people that duplicate part of a horse. Nothing to brag about.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I duplicated that part when I was twelve!

If you mean by that the rear end of the horse, we have had several millions of them ever since the dawn of humanity!

As one, who rode a lot, I can confirm, that horse will collide only with human intervention... A left alone horse will stop/wonder around/go home/create traffic jam, but never do harm...

So what.. that's the first horse-sense law of self-driving cars? Stop, wander around, go home, create a traffic jam, but do no harm?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

In Baltimore, where I live at the moment, the City Council decided to issue wheelie-bins (for free) to every resident to standardize and simplify the trash collection. Ours was apparently delivered to our back door and promptly stolen five minutes later! I called to ask about this and was told "People from Baltimore are stupid and steal everything - even if they don't know what to do with it once they've stolen it". (I didn't take personal offence since I was not actually from Baltimore.) I shouldn't have been surprised they stole a nice new, clean, green wheelie-bin since I have had three stinky, slimy wheelie-bins I had bought and used myself stolen! Who steals filthy, old bins?
