When I worked on Google's Waymo project, we only had a small handful of our cars involved in any collision on public roads. And every single one of them was from a human driver running into the SDC. I dunno if that's changed since I left, but even in the early stages, SDCs are remarkably safe compared to human drivers.
Comment on California just opened the floodgates for self-driving cars

Good. I’m sick of the fearmonger. “OH NO, THIS ONE CAR GOT IN A CRASH!!!”
Yeah, but humans crash too?

Yea, me too. I’m such a good driver, others are crashing into me every day…

Cruise has hit an oncoming car, smashed into the back of a Muni bus, and is constantly stopping in emergency zones making first responders lives harder.
7 hours of debate of the community making it clear how much they don’t want this, how much the city’s leaders don’t want this, but the state doesn’t give a shit.
They may be “safe” because they avoid difficult maneuvers and only drive like 25-30mph, but that doesn’t mean they’re practical or should be welcome in our cities.

It hits different when you’re the one being crashed into, but if it crashes less than monkeys behind the wheel, bring it!

What’s with the obsession with punishment?

Because corporations can’t be allowed to get away with what would land any of us in jail if we did it. We know they will cut corners if allowed, so make sure FSD is safer and that citizens are not defrauded when dealing with economic behemoths.
