No because the cars are self-selected to only drive on roads that the companies consider safe to begin with. Self driving tech currently operates on probably less than 1% of American roads, and that's a fraction of roads on the planet. >Waymo and Cruise have driven a combined total of 8 million driverless miles For context, the average American drives about 13k miles per year, so this is about as much as much data as a village of a thousand people produces annually. The actual experiment that would produce relevant data: A substantial mass of driverless cars on a random set of roads under random conditions, including with a high enough concentration that the cars need to interact with each other the way humans need to interact with other drivers. (obviously we know how this would end, which is why nobody attempts it)
