If I'm the government, I'm going to make sure they have to be better than humans with self driving co-pilot.
You also can't compare deaths per million miles if the self driving cars don't operate in dangerous conditions. You'd have to compare apple miles to apple miles and orange miles to orange miles. A lot of people die in car wrecks in bad conditions.
A car that only kills .5 people per million miles, but doesn't work in the rain, snow, dark, whatever, likely isn't safer than a person.
