Are humans good or bad at driving?
Until a few years ago, humans defined entirely what "driving" was. Now two things can drive, humans and the autobots. Currently it seems we are better than the autobots. We are still the best drivers around, and good enough to make driving legal and widespread.
Deaths per mile or whatever summary statistic is just descriptive; I don't see an obvious, natural baseline.
Perhaps we could say something about the question are human-controlled automobiles a safe form of travel relative to other modes of transportation? Or maybe calling humans bad drivers just highlights tbe risks of driving. But assessing the quality of driving of the human population still seems tautological to me.
