It may be better than humans on average, but is it safer than a sober person who is driving responsibly in a similarly priced vehicle? Anecdotally, most accidents I've seen have been caused by at least one driver doing some stupid shit. Based on my own personal experiences, I'm just not comfortable surrending control of my vehicle. Especially not when we could be comparing apples to oranges. Safety of a self driving system should be evaluated against currently available safety technologies like blind spot detection etc. If you're including older vehicles that don't have the best possible non-self driving technology in your data, you're making a comparison that is inherently biased in favor of self driving cars.
All that being said, I do think self driving is what we will inevitably arrive at...we just need to have a higher degree of confidence in it before it's widely used in my opinion.
