I trust statistics but I don't trust bad statistics. There isn't a self driving car operator out there that is currently testing their cars in statistically representative conditions. And unless they are, there isn't a statistical methodology out there that can say they are safer.

Google, for example, avoids expressways and won't go on freeways, hasn't tested their cars in extreme weather, barely ever sees even bad weather, and is electronically limited to 25mph. I'd be willing to bet the majority of drivers have nearly perfect driving records in those conditions too.

Not me: I'd fall asleep if I were to be limited to 25mph all the time ;)

Curious about the 25mph assertion. I've driven next to Google self-driving cars in Austin in my neighborhood numerous times and it was definitely traveling faster than 25mph.

Not sure about your case, but sometimes the humans inside take the wheel.
