I don't see why self-driving cars should have to be perfect though. I would argue that rationally I should start using self-driving cars as soon as they are better at driving than I am. The fact there are edge cases that I handle better than the AI is not necessarily disqualifying, so long as the AI is so much better at the rest of the cases that on average the AI is safer. For example, the fact that I handle a piano that has been left in the middle of a freeway better than an AI might matter less than the fact that the AI responds 100ms faster when a car swerves into our path.

> I would argue that rationally I should start using self-driving cars as soon as they are better at driving than I am. How would you know? Of course the edge cases matter, since human drivers make minor driving mistakes on a too-regular basis but fatal ones very rarely. 100ms faster reaction time is very impressive up until the point the system interprets the 10,000th bridge support it passes as an offramp and attempts to exit via it, which makes it several orders of magnitude more deadly than humans as they start using it on that road...
