The claim that self-driving cars are being held-up to a higher standard than human drivers is simply false. Self-driving cars so far have a far worse record than the average of human drivers, which is remarkably good. Human accidents are measure in term of "per million miles driven". Self-driving cars have driven a tiny total distance compared to all the miles human drivers have driven.
