Ah yes, because all humans are equally bad drivers.

A self-driving car shouldn't compete with the average human because the average human is a fucking idiot. A self-driving car should drive better than a good driver, or else you're just putting more idiots on the road.

Replacing bad drivers with ok drivers is a net win. Let's not leave perfection be the enemy of progress.
