I don't think these are the only two possibilities. A third might be that they're confident that if a car finds a situation it can't handle, it'll gracefully degrade. If 1 out of 10,000 rides ends in a crash, that's a problem. If 1 out of 10,000 rides ends in needing to call a human driver for a pickup, it's not.
