I think it’s fine to attribute miles to autonomous vehicles which have drivers that can intervene... as long as that is how they are used outside of tests as well. Just a guess, but I doubt having a test driver that can intervene will help safety statistics for autonomous vehicles much. I think we’ll find test drivers will usually be unable to notice and react fast enough when they are needed.

My biggest concern is that test drivers can and have done the 'hard parts' of a lot of test routes, making the overall miles driven statistic kind of useless as a representation of the driving ability of the car. But yeah, I'd agree there's a lot of difficulties expecting a test driver to immediately take over in a sudden event like a bike entering the roadway.
