"Being better than human drivers" is such a low bar because human drivers are terrible. But even if AI cars do better statistically, the mistakes they do make are so strange and preventable, it really makes you think.
Just because something is safer statistically doesn't mean it doesn't need to be better. Heck maybe the whole system needs to be better.
