So they should have driven around 75 million more miles before getting their first fatality, in order to remain even with humans. Not to mention they've been driving on the clearest/sunniest roads in only a few cities.
Of course a sample size of one is not enough data, but I'd say we should err on the side of "we have a huge problem".
There should have been so many safety precautions in place that nobody should have died from this yet.
