Humans cause fatalities 1 per 100 million miles.

There is no way to truly evaluate safety being an order of magnitude better until we have 1 billion miles driven.

You can crash less often (reduce fender benders) but kill more people (have rare but egregious errors) so I am not interested in seeing statistics about incidents or collisions.

It is actually at 1.5 per 100m miles now. In some countries, like China, it is much worse (63k a year!).
