> We have empirical data showing how safe actual level 2 self driving cars are in practice.

Do we? Where does that come from? The data Tesla provides is hopelessly non-representative because it makes the assumption that the safety of any given road is independent of whether a driver chooses to switch on the system there.

Only overall numbers actually mater here, if self driving is off then that’s just the default risk from human driving in those conditions. Talk to your insurance company, they can give you a break down by make, model, and trim levels.

I am pretty sure that if I call Geico they will not provide me with those data. Am I wrong?

Mine did, but I don’t use Geico. If they don’t give you the underlying data you can at least compare rates to figure out relative risks.
