You cannot blame the person for not reacting. This is why this type of autonomous driving is dangerous. How can you expect a person to keep focus of your telling them the car will do the driving?

Having said all that, the proof is in the pudding. 132 million miles before the first death. That's far better than human driving. We're still going to see the majority of the cars on the road being self driving within 15 years
No, it's actually almost identical - higher depending on the state, actually. That number also includes motorcycle miles, which greatly inflates the mean.
