As the OP stated, the low velocity cases are not causing deadly accidents. And you can’t drive by wire at high speed (too much latency). So I doubt it’s affecting the stats in any meaningful way.

Honestly I much prefer they have a human as a backup than not.

Make humans drive as slow as these cars and deaths will drop too.

The cars aren’t driving that slow the vast majority of the time…
