It seems more like a rush to the finish to me [1], rather than a slow crawl. The goal doesn't seem to be to create a 'perfect' AI driver before deployment, just one that is good enough.
And after all, we only really need a statistical improvement over human drivers for it to be worth it, given that the software in these cars can be updated over time.
I guess it would be nice though, if we had a really tough standardized test course, involving various common situations with pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
On the other hand, we test human drivers on real roads too.
