There is also an other problem with only trying to better than average driver. If your system is only slightly better than average. That means basically 1 out of 2 people are better than your software. Autonomous, driving should be multiple sigmas better than average. Especially given the reaction times that are possible for a computer vs a human. If its only good as average a large amount of drivers would be safer to drive themselves. Basically it should be as good if not better than the most capable drivers. Average is way to low of a bar to aim for.

The reaction time is actually an interesting question. Reactions in humans which do not require thought/planning can be quite quick, and the human vision system is /very/ quick, especially for movement. How fast is the vision system in a Tesla? Not only frequency, what's the latency from vision change to decision? My guess is the Tesla is faster, but by less than an order of magnitude. I would not be surprised that it's slower for some cases. But I really don't know.
