That seems like an odd question to ask. There are huge reams of traffic safety data collected every year by the NTSB and others. Traffic accidents are one of the top two or three treatable public health issues in the modern world, and they get very significant public funding for their study.
Honestly I think the question has to be the reverse: what is is about "driverless" safety data that makes you think it won't be well-measured by the existing "validation" regime?
