We don’t know that it has less problems.

The distribution of errors is as important as the error rate.

Simply being sober, awake, calm and not texting puts you far above the average driver and are things you can control.

A self diving car which, apparently 10+ years into development is currently running red lights randomly 1% of the time is not in your control.

It can be controlled however.

It's not important if it's possible, what matters if it happens.

It's conditional probabilities.

I am not elderly, do not DUI, drive tired, or touch my phone while driving. I put myself in a different risk pool by my behavior.

I step into a Tesla FSD car, I am in the same risk pool as everyone else in one when it decides to run 1% of red lights or whatever other stupid bug in the next release.

The point of FSD is to take control of the car makes an error (like running a red light). I am a better driver with it on.

The unsupervised "robotaxi" uses a different NN. It doesn't behave the same way as FSD.
