Self-driving cars are already safer than human-driven cars and they are only going to grow safer and safer for a couple decades until they hit a plateau. They can monitor hundreds of data points in and around the vehicle continuously and simultaneously. They can't get distracted, can't get drunk, can't get sleepy, can't get road rage, can't showboat.

They can have bugs and can misinterpret the data. But far less frequently than humans do.
