The problem is the datasets are incompatible. Tesla's numbers are very impressive until you realize that it will currently only engage in scenarios which are less prone to accidents across the board.

As the number of situations where self-driving kicks in increases to include more complex environments, it's likely the numbers will shift.

Even though the numbers will shift, Tesla can't afford to have worse statistics than with human drivers.

That's why it takes years to enable city level (L2 and maybe L3 in rush hours) driving.

At the same time it really looks like Tesla will enable it this year, as Elon's predicted timelines are getting shorter.
