That would depend on which human you have in mind. Some are 100 x more dangerous than others. (See the link below.) Or 100 x safer depending on what you consider normal
You don't happen to know about any statistics about fatalities per 1 billion vehicle-km for (partly) self driving cars?
To compare with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic...
Edit: i found:
> Overall, autonomous vehicles (AVs) were involved in more crashes: 9.1 crashes per million miles traveled, compared to 4.1 for conventional cars. However, compared to injuries experienced in traditional vehicle collisions, the ones involving injury were minor.

If that's reliable info, then they'll eventually get better than an average human in the US (or are already).
And in some countries, they could be an amazing improvement -- see the insane amount of fatalities, in some countries (Wikipedia link above).
