I just don't believe the "close to perfect" story. And I know that those who died while they were not close to perfect yet really don't care that there is this

  In this specific case, it might be worth noting that, had the pedestrian not been dragged... They almost certainly would have died still, having been double-collided by multi-ton vehicles. Human drivers are still, mile-for-mile, the most dangerous threat to all pedestrians, blind and sighted.

  I know people who have died from human driven cars, where the driver was sober. Autonomous cars only need to beat that, which is a much lower bar than perfect. Of course the closer to perfect they get the better, but a lot of people die on the roads, if autonomous cars can improve on that then we need them now, not waiting for some perfect. (I don't know if they really improve - all data I've seen is confusing and may be an attempt to hide the truth in some way)
