What are you talking about? Humans are shockingly good drivers. It is a average of ~80,000,000 miles, or ~5,000 years of regular driving between fatalitys and that includes the motorcyclists, drunks, and people who do not wear their seatbelts who account for ~70% of all deaths if I recall correctly. If you are a average driver who does not drive drunk and who wears your seatbelt and you started driving when agriculture was invented you would not be expected to have gotten into a fatal accident yet.

Anybody who says humans are bad drivers is almost certainly underestimating the difficulty of replacing humans by a factor of 1000x.
