People cause accidents too. If an autodrive car becomes (is already?) safer than a person, should we not revisit the rules?
Rolling stops are illegal for a person, because a person suffers from inattentiveness and has slow reactions. The rules for a computer start from a different place, and likely will end up different from the rules for people.
Traffic is never going to be completely safe. We accept that now. To hold autodriving to a higher standard is reasonable, but there's a limit. And it should be a rational limit, not just hyperbole.
Strawmen like 'I'll be maimed!' are not really helping the conversation.
