How do we test human readiness for driving? We give them a driving test, which takes all of 40 minutes. This is possible only because we know a lot about what it means to be a human. To test self-driving technology we need to understand a lot about the AI that is behind it, which is an active area of research with much progress. Moreover, there is adversarial testing in simulation and on raw sensor data, which can tell you a lot about your system before any large scale real world testing begins, including when it might be safe to start real-world testing. Real-world testing at such large scales is neither a practical nor a necessary component to validating self-driving systems.

Take a look at Germany, and how to get a drivers license there. Hint: if you are bad at parallel parking, you will fail the exam.

>We give them a driving test, which takes all of 40 minutes 40 minutes + 16 years to prime the neural net for - object recognition and classification - developing a theory of mind so that the NN can anticipate how other NNs will behave - etc The NN can't sit the 40 minute test unless they prove they can do successful object recognition and avoidance at low speed (while in bipedal mode). That they have the sufficient fine/gross motor skills to navigate a complex and changing 3D environment etc. It's going to take a while before we've got digital systems that can compare.
