It's an accident caused by something getting turned on at the wrong time. Is it any different than, for example, someone turning on the power without knowing that an electrician is currently doing some work, thereby causing him to get electrocuted?

It is, because there are always pedestrians and other cars around the streets. They are more difficult to control especially if you're not looking. I'm pretty confident that I don't kill anybody if I turn on a light switch now. I'm pretty sure something bad would happen if I'd start my car remotely in gear and with no handbrake.
