The stats for self-driving cars also have other caveats: they are only deployed in extremely favorable conditions (areas with very little rain and no snow), and the vast majority have human safety drivers for added verification. Also, many self-driving cars are not so much unsafe as occasionally bad at the basics of driving in certain scenarios - such as massively over/under-steering in intersections, leading to the need to maneuver in traffic (I've especially seen this in Tesla FSD videos). Also, > Your standard for "maybe" exceeds the abilities of many humans. I'm very curious what human driver is simply unable to do that task. In fact, the vast majority of human drivers could do this task, but 0 current self-driving cars could even attempt it.

> they are only deployed in extremely favorable conditions (areas with very little rain and no snow) I've heard a lot of conflicting reports about this with regard to Tesla's AI, but regardless your point is sound, my list is not exhaustive. > not so much unsafe as occasionally bad at the basics of driving in certain scenarios Indeed. It's one of the counterintuitive things about machine intelligence in general, that it can be wildly superhuman in domains that humans consider challenging while also being utterly pathetic in domains we consider trivial. > I'm very curious what human driver is simply unable to do that task. In fact, the vast majority of human drivers could do this task, but 0 current self-driving cars could even attempt it. A quick google suggested that the roads in the alps are often closed in the winter by the police because of the snow, so hopefully in such conditions the answer is "100% of humans cannot do this" :)
