I think the idea that self driving cars "may not ever be" safer than human drivers is ludicrous, even fatuous. We set an abysmally low bar for safety.

I think that is why the very assertive "Are you saying..." is appropriate.

Maybe you're right, progress is inevitable.

But humans always overestimate the rate of progress, and think we will be living in some amazing futurescape in the next 10 years.
