95% - erring on assuming Uber has driven more miles than they probably have.

Hmm; if I understand correctly, in that link you show that if Uber’s AI has the same risk of killing people as a human driver, then the prior probability of an accident occurring when it did or earlier was 5%. That’s significant, but it’s not the same measure as the probability that the AI has a higher risk (which would require a prior distribution).
