This is what people don't appreciate when quoting those statistics about how self-driving cars are safer than humans: when a human driver causes an accident, it was because that particular person did something wrong. When a self-driving car handles a situation wrongly that's a big issue, because all the self-driving cars run the same software.

On the other hand when a human driver causes an accident one driver learns a lesson (maybe). When a self driving car causes an accident all cars get to learn from it.

Yes, but when the bug was fixed, it was fixed everywhere.

That phrasing makes it easy to underestimate the astronomical dimensions of edgecase-space, and what necessarily remains unexplored after such a fix.

how do we know for sure that it was fixed ? What are the conditions that are fixed ?
