It doesn't have to not kill people to be an improvement, it just has to kill less people than people do
True in a purely logical sense, but assigning liability is a huge issue for self-driving vehicles.
As long as there's manual controls the driver is responsible as they're supposed to be ready to take over
That doesn't sound like a self-driving car to me.
Because it's not, it's a car with assisted driving, like all cars you can drive at the moment and with which, surprise surprise, you are held responsible if there's an accident while it's in assisted mode.
