A CNBC reporter described her ride in a Cruise vehicle
as being driven around like a student driver.
Human student drivers flunk road tests and licensed
drivers get tickets for these kinds of incidents.

As for accident statistics, human-driven accidents
and fatalities are counted per millions of miles driven.
Autonomous self driving doesn't have the miles.

As for the pedestrian incident, the AI fell down
encountering the unexpected. Human operators
get cited for careless driving in situations like this.
