as of today, yes, the data indicates that self driving cars are less safe. The fact is, as of today, self driving cars are generating more fatalities per mile driven than human drivers. That may change in the future as technology matures.

I'd love to see the data you're talking about, but even if such data exists, that doesn't make extrapolating from this one accident any more valid.

so, 6 million miles driven and one fatality is significantly worse record than human drivers. So far.
