Wikipedia gives a summary of the accident rate in the US [1], humans drive millions of miles without accidents. Filip Piekniewski has an ongoing series on self-driving car problems. [2] (I'd look up the earlier articles in the series if I had time). This article I googled [3] give some statistics: ") At the moment, self-driving cars have a higher rate of accidents compared to human-driven cars, but the injuries are less serious. On average, there are 9.1 self-driving car accidents per million miles driven, while the same rate is 4.1 crashes per million miles for regular vehicles." However, nearly all self-driving cars are driven in highly controlled conditions, the safest driving areas available and/or an operator ready to take over - yet they still have a higher rate of accidents than human drivers.
There's a reason self-driving cars aren't being deployed yet.
