If self driving cars are only as safe as human drivers, why bother with spending billions to achieve status quo?

Unless it is a pure capitalist move.

They're far better than human drivers but that depends on the system. In my personal opinion, based on the sensor video that Waymo release a few weeks ago, their self-driving tech is far more focused on safety than Uber's and their vehicles are likely far safer than a human driver.
