It doesn’t matter if it is safer. You can’t hold a human liable for not having superhuman qualities. Humans make mistakes and those mistakes are accepted.

A computer making mistakes isn’t acceptable, every instance will be seen as a liability and a huge one.

computers will not be given the benefit of the doubt that humans have

Insurance companies will just look at the stats. And you better believe they'll jack up your rates if your self driving car crashes. You'll be held responsible, like it or not.

That's likely to be Tesla's problem, not the problem of the car insurance company though.
