But with driving human lives are at stake now. It just has to be better than the average driver.

  In which case any driver of above-average ability would be insane to put their lives in the hands of one. How many people do _you_ know that consider themselves below-average drivers?

  I'm just spitballin' here, but perhaps they could make something that was better than the average driver, and wouldn't swerve or accelerate into stationary objects like highway barriers? That sounds like something a lot of people would want.

    Looks easy, right? Too bad it's been looking easy for 50+ years now, with no solution in sight.

  That's one more of those "irrational exuberance" regarding the future of autonomous driving. It would never even come close to being legal if it's only better than the average driver. It will need to be better than the 95th percentile of human drivers at the very least. 48% of the human population are not going to accept a more dangerous, potentially deadlier, car ride because it's "safer on average".
