Thanks to the human driver they managed to avoid the accident. /s

But in all seriousness the damn car was waiting at a traffic light and yet according to you it's still a terrible driver.

No, my consideration of the Google SDC's safety record is based on the number of accidents it would have caused (i.e. been at-fault for, from a legal standpoint) had human drivers not interrupted the program and taken manual control.

There's an additional likelihood that the odd/non-human behavior of Google's cars can make other drivers incorrectly predict their behavior, and also cause more accidents, but I'm not really factoring that into my consideration.
