If they ever formally codified the acceptable risk resulting in death and operated accordingly, then yes, they might be. However, a doctor is not a machine - there isn't some piece of code that says 10% of all appendicitis cases die. Equipment deaths are usually operator error or perhaps component failure, etc. Bridges? Who knows? The point is that an autonomous vehicle has a programmed decision tree where the others do not and at some point, someone has to have, or should have, taken into account vehicle operation under catastrophic circumstances. Go read up on the trolley problem and tell me if I'm wrong in bringing this up.
