Driving is dangerous in generally predictable ways, and people accept that. People also accept that there is usually someone to blame for most car accidents. Driving is dangerous but it is under human control. Autonomous vehicles are dangerous in unpredictable ways. People might be injured or die in accidents that would not have happened with human drivers, as the result of software bugs rather than human decisions. When things like that happen, statistics about accident and death rates being lower with self-driving cars are beside the point.
