I think the average is ballpark 1 per 100 million miles, so my guess is that someday they might show this, but they probably want to wait til they have more miles driven.

OK right, so they're at 170 million now, maybe ~1 life saved. I see it might be a bit early to be making claims about that.

Also in comparison the cases of disruption/blocking intersections/emergency-services do seem significant - seems plausible in the right circumstances you could lose lives.

Seems they need to 10x their miles before they can start making confident claims about lives saved.
