I think the problem here is calling something "better than human" because it manages to avoid some accidents. If a car avoids one accident for every 100,000 times it intervenes, that isn't really a good thing. It just means that drivers start to ignore flashing lights and warnings because they are always meaningless. Maybe it even causes some accidents by distracting the driver, and they don't get categorized as "caused by the automatic braking system" because nothing really tracks that.
Every time I start my car, about 15 seconds into the drive a popup appears on the screen, saying something like "Warning: automated driving assistance system can cause distraction. Select OK to dismiss". Thanks, you have reduced your own liability in exchange for further distracting the driver.
