And so it’s ok to break traffic rules? In my country, as a human this will get you easily a one month license suspension.

No, just a bit of perspective. I'm sure the video record of your car would be squeaky clean with no violations whatsoever.

If I said I've never had a driver's licence, can we get back to the topic at hand?

What's the thesis here, humans are imperfect drivers and therefore we should accept self driving cars driving into incoming traffic, and if anyone objects, focus on their faults instead?

It's not a binary. That particular case is pretty egregious since the car signals to turn, gets into the turn lane, actually starts turning, and then swerves back (across the oncoming traffic lanes in the middle of an intersection!) and tries to get back into the correct lane to drive straight, but only manages to achieve that after driving for a bit in the lane for oncoming traffic. That is a major fuckup. And this all happens on a road with fresh clear marking, on a sunny day with perfect visibility.
