And the issue is the numbers are fake: different population, different car types are compared. Dis-engagements are not noted as "20K dis-engagements = 20K times the human saved himself from the bad AI.
Would people get operated by an AI doctor that is better then the medicine students and the drunk doctors but only when a good doctor is paying attention and intervenes in case the AI shits itself?
While AP is sometimes touted as "FSD safer than a human driver" in reality it's just a set of driver assists that can help a driver drive safer. Since AP doesn't drive itself except for very limited definitions of driving, it can't be itself safer than a human driver. Like when a pair of sneakers help a runner bit can't logically be called "better than a human runner". Let's not forget that the human does most of the work in either example.
As long as any "self-driving" car operates only under human supervision it's not relevant to compare that system taken independently to the human. Compare the FSD alone with the human alone and then we have stats. Everything else is candy for people with more money than sense.
