This does not stand to scrutiny. How do humans suck at driving? Hundreds of millions of cars on roads for decades. Millions of cars in thousands of cities with extremely varied roads, environments and patterns going about life with minimal disruptions.
On the contrary it seems humans are very good at adjusting to varied and unpredictable traffic and road conditions without issue everyday.
I think ai proponents have got into the bad habit of underplaying the skills, instincts and adjustments involved or exaggerrating accidents out of context of total traffic. There is no data on how AI cars would do at this volume and level of varied conditions so the argument is dishonest.
An ai vehicle operating in constrained road and traffic conditions is a completely different propositon to the traffic patterns negotiated by human drivers everyday.
