The technology is not ready for prime time, nor will it ever be. There will simply be an acceptable rate of crashes and deaths, regardless of if they could have been prevented by a skilled, human driver.
Today's systems do not understand human behavior at all. You can watch the Tesla cam crashes and see where a skilled human driver would have made a different choice. Eg, the blacked out, lowered pickup swerving between lanes five cars back will probably be erratic when it gets to you, but the Tesla will change lanes as the truck gets closer even though it's completely predictable that the driver of the truck will quickly try to take that spot.
