The interior view tells you everything you need to know about why anything except perfection in self driving cars will lead to more accidents.

The driver specially selected and trained for exactly this job, does not look at the road! If someone specially trained for that won't do it, the general public certainly will not.

Also, in the video you can not see the bicycle till it's almost too late. But I have better night vision than this camera, I feel as a human I would have seen the bike. (For example the sides are pitch black in the video, but in similar lighting I can see stuff to the side.)

But the real issue is that self driving cars should have better vision than a human, not worse!
