> Humans drive in all sorts of conditions that self driving cars flat out don't

that's exactly why they are not allowed in all sorts of conditions! Where did this all-or-nothing demand come from? If a self-driving car shows less accidents than humans in Phoenix, why would you apply numbers from e.g. Montana, how is that apples-to-apples? and if it's shown safe in Phoenix conditions, why not let it run in Phoenix, just like the current approach?

Then you don't get to argue by them being safer overall. That argument then amounts to lie when the actual topic is general driving ability.

Second, then use only data about human drivers in perfect situations to compare. Their accident rates also go down.
