A Tesla drove under a semi because "that flat thing isn't moving it can't be a car it must be a billboard".
A jay walker in Arizona got ran over because "people are only in crosswalks" (I don't remember the company offhand)
Autonomous driving isn't automatically safer. Companies keep focusing on the potential for improved safety without technically claiming they are that much safer.
The potential is great but that means nothing. What matters is what we make.

Friend of mine just witnessed a crash the other day where a driver at a high rate of speed lost it on a wet corner and the passenger got ejected.

Comparing things that have managed in total barely 1/100,000th of a years usage means anecdotes don't matter. Because there is at minimum one unavoidable aspect here: we don't know what accidents an AI could prevent and way way more importantly we don't have enough data on what accidents an AI would cause at highway speeds. Insufficient data is available for how effective AI is at preventing accidents. The Arizona one I gave for instance, the company was found not liable since a person might have done the same but could they have slammed on the breaks turning a fatality into an injury? We will never know and can never no. The best we can do is measure real world performance and pay close attention.
