No, is the short answer. Of course self driving continues to be trialled in SF and elsewhere, but my understanding is that the safety data (where available) for example does not consider a wide range of road conditions, and has other statistical limitations when attempting to compare with human drivers.
Certainly there are good reasons why SFFD is not keen on Waymo and Cruise.
Self-driving (and AI in general) has a tendency to go catastrophically wrong for impossible to determine reasons (imagine if each hallucination was a potential traffic accident), in a way that is hard to predict and is essentially open ended in terms of consequence. Humans do very stupid things much much less often than fairly stupid things - no such correlation is offered by AI.

I live in SF and am not aware of a single catastrophe owing to self-driving cars, let alone enough such catastrophes to form a statistical sample from which we could reliably infer tendencies.
