If what you're proposing is that "success" in this experiment is that every Tesla now drives at least as well as the absolute worst-case human driver, then you've pretty much articulated why this experiment is so dangerous.

The thing is these are not the "absolute worst-case human driver", these are the absolute average human drivers.
People get easily distracted, get excited, get tired, all of which are propitious to bad decision-making.
Many human drivers are downright dangerous, but that's not a reason to add dangerous machine drivers on the road, either.
