Remember the Uber self-driving car that killed a woman crossing the street? The AI had no clue about jaywalkers

"Humans are far from perfect drivers. Just have a look at the US fatality figures - 40,000pa, and that excludes injuries."

That needs to be set against vehicle miles. I don't know how your figure compares to vehicle miles in the US but in the UK it's a huge number of miles per fatality. I doubt autonomous vehicles have got anywhere near it.
