Who claimed that driving is among those "certain tasks"? No, in the near future computers will at best be marginally better than human drivers. Computers are better at decision latency. But that merely compensates for some of their current shortcomings.
And that will be sufficient to save thousands of lives every year. Do you not like preventing deaths?
Delaying "marginally better" for "orders of magnitude better" means delaying the deployment of life-saving measures.
