I doubt most people have 99% accuracy. The threshold of tolerance for error is just much lower for any self-driving system (and with good reason, because we're not familiar with them yet).

How do you define 99% accuracy?

I guess something like success rate for a trip (or mile) would be a more reasonable metric. Most people have a success rate far higher than 99% for averages trips.

Most people who commute daily are probably doing something like a 1000 car rides a year and have minor accidents every few years. 99% success rates would mean monthly accidents.
