I think people underrate human drivers. When you take into account the massive amount of miles driven each day, the amount of crashes isnt that bad, and currently self driving cars have much more fatalities per mile than humans.
The leading cause of transportation deaths are, by a long mile, automobiles. Automobile fatalities also have the highest rate of people killed per miles traveled. I think human driving ability is overrated, but I agree with you that self driving cars aren't doing too great either
