The safety question is really empirical: statistically, are you safer in a self-driving car or not. I believe that, even currently, self-driving cars are statistically safer. (the main reason for this, btw, is that it drives slowly. It doesn't exceed 25 mph or 30 mph. This will go up as it demonstrates safety.) Some risks -- other people -- are the same in either case. The difference in risk is the driver. But that answers the general question of safety. In your specific case, the question might better answered by: how safe a driver are you?
