Self-driving cars are safer, in general, overall - it’s just that the specific cases in which they fail are different from anything a (halfway competent and alert) person would fail at.
Self driving cars in general, maybe. Teslas in particular, probably not so much, especially with Musk refusing to use LIDAR…
People assess risks differently based on what the results could be. Burning to death trapped in a car is pretty high on the “avoid this” list, and americans likely are asking “if I get hit by a Tesla who do I sue?” If the answer is Tesla then thats a much higher risk than if its the person in the drivers seat.
Its about ehat types of mistakes can happen and how they are handled. Many prefer gas automobiles as they consider them less risky.
