The average of something cannot be more than the average of... itself. Thus, "Humans are much safer than people on average" is nonsensical.

> Why do you believe that Autopilot outperforms humans in comparable conditions?

Because they have the data that proves it?

> I'm extremely prejudiced against them

And I've chosen to take them at face value with a grain of salt, and to believe that for the data they've collected from the hundreds of thousands of Tesla's with millions of hours of data using Autopilot, it's fair to say they have a large enough sample to draw conclusions about the safety of their cars vs. any incident rates from pretty much any other distribution.
