It's not that simple, claiming they all drive the same way ignore circumstances of reality, driving past a school bus from sun glare blinding a camera doesn't happen if another one is shifted a foot so the side as the angles are different with the exact same programming.
Meanwhile more humans crash from sun glare regularly.
Also the claim that if it's slightly better it's still worst than the best, but think of the hundreds of lives improved from not being crippled/killed by humans who aren't the best. That's not a reasonable comparison.
Will there be growing pains, sure, but can't develop new things without going through that stage, and already that stage is better than most of humanity, and the negative results of these growing pains are less dramatic in most cases than the comparable human results.
We need more and more of these vehicles displacing humans sooner to save lives and reduce costs/damages and iron out issues earlier, work zone issues shoulda' been one of the first things that came up instead so late in the game now.
