Error rates account for these concerns. Error rate isn’t “the total number of errors”, it’s “errors per mile driven by all self-driving cars” (hence “rate”). Yes, an update might spike the number of errors, but as long as the error rate (accounting for severity) remains lower than for human drivers it’s still a net benefit. And moreover, no one is going to release an update to every car at once.
