I'd rather have ten die because of a computer's fault than a hundred because of human fault.
And again --- overlook the point.
These systems work NOW
And they will ( like the drivers) age - then NOT . work. Then you will see the accident rate from things like rear end collisions spike - because users got used to having collision avoidence....
So it might work for 500 years before an emp blasts all selfdriving cars to smithereens. Killing a million people trapped in deathmobiles in an instant. If for each year in those 500 years 10.000 people die less because the computer does it better than THE human mind; isn't that worth THE one million toll?
Edit:
Misunderstood.
My bad, understand your point now.
But still; it's just a matter of checking up on THE systems and making those checkups required by law, isn't it?
