Better than human is a rational standard for mass implementation. But decisions about whether to adopt the widespread use of a machine that will kill humans won't be arrived at in an entirely rational manner. We suppress most instances of auto death by human error because we've normalized it, and we'd rather not deal with the stress. Every single fatality in self-driving cars will be massively magnified.
