To play Devil's advocate, there were over 100 people killed in the US TODAY from non-autonomous vehicles [1].
Obviously we'd need to know the number of miles driven in each category to get a meaningful comparison, but let's all keep in mind a USA where only one person per day is killed on the roads would be a two order of magnitude improvement over today.
