You're wrong. Driverless vehicles are safer, according to all data I've seen.

Here's one such example:

Of 2,052 AV incidents reported to the NHTSA, autonomous vehicles were solely at fault for only 4% of accidents that involved other road users.

The vast majority of AV-caused injuries involve animals; only 14 human injuries have resulted from the 234 incidents where an AV was at fault. There have been zero human fatalities caused by an AV from 2021-2025.

System malfunctions aren’t common; hardware or software failures accounted for 7.8% of incidents where the autonomous vehicle was found to be at fault.

I'm happy to stand corrected if there's data that points otherwise, but I'd rather stick to facts.
