I strongly disagree. By all measures I've seen (including a couple of slides in the OP's video), Tesla's self-driving is far safer than human driving: the number of accidents and deaths per mile driven are something like an order of magnitude lower (i.e., around 10x safer). I mean, the machine never gets distracted, tired, sleepy, emotional, drunk, etc., so it is a LOT LESS likely to crash on boring, monotonous road segments than most people -- who do get distracted, tired, sleepy, etc. Not only that, but people make really scary mistakes in routine circumstances. The video shows several examples of human drivers hitting the accelerator when they actually meant to hit the brake!
The criticism of autopilot is really about it getting tripped-up in response to statistically rare, unusual circumstances, i.e., edge cases. Karpathy et al are working on getting better at those, bringing the rate of situations that surprise autopilot closer and closer to 0%, even if it can never be achieved -- there will be always be surprises. Personally, I would rather take a tiny risk of crash on rare, once-in-a-million-miles events with autopilot driving than a ~1% risk of crash per 1000 to 2000 miles with everyday human driving.
Prediction: Tesla will be the first of all major automakers to get to level 4 and 5 autonomy.
