To match or beat the safety of drivers aged 16-17 self-driving cars need to beat 1,000 crashes per 100,000,000 miles [1]. This is 99.999% miles driven without crashing.
I'd like to call that "five nines" but crashes are sort of instantaneous. Unlike a website where you measure recovery time. If I change the unit to meters, I get a different number.
