It's funny because these are running just fine in other cities.

And for all they've driven, there's been what? One fatality from someone who literally walked in front of a car.

Compared to how many fatalities there are from human drivers, that seems a lot lower.

The number of passenger miles/hours driven by AVs are such that no fatalities would have been expected with a human driver. A lot of automobile deaths happen but it's not because cars are dangerous it's because we drive a mind numbingly large amount.
