Sorry for that coming across as facetious, that wasn't my intention.
Robots have been gradually increasing the complexity of the tasks that they can perform more reliably and consistently than humans for fifty or more years. Given that the vast majority of car accidents are caused by human error by the driver, to say that a computer/robot will never be more reliable or consistent than the incredibly fallible human being, is to ignore decades of progress that has exceeded expectations. Even at a basic level, even an early self driving production car is likely to far exceed human performance.
Maybe being an owner of a car that parks itself perfectly first time in any space has made me more of a fan of the tech than I should be.
