> Driving is hard and most of these systems already make fewer mistakes than human drivers.

When driven in a small number of states that have beneficial weather conditions. I don't think we've done _nearly_ enough testing to come to this conclusion yet.




Even so, the places that Tesla and Waymo primarily drive - while "easy" for an autonomous car - should then also be easier for human drivers. His point is that they're in fewer mistakes and human drivers. In the end that is all we need from these cars. As long as they make fewer mistakes than us they are a success.

Genuinely curious if you've come across accident statistics that break down human miles in to similar categories as the kind of miles autonomous cars drive.
