While I dont particularly like self driving/ level x autonomy/ electric/ whatever you want to call it and the nannies that come alone with it, I could play the devils advocate. Because it depends on how you look at the data. While only my unprofessional opinion, please consider the following...
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration today released its early estimates of traffic fatalities for the first half of 2022. An estimated 20,175 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes, an increase of about 0.5%..."
​
I also managed to locate a PDF from nhtsa showing a large number of ADS cars were rear ended. Take that information as you will but it would be hard to squarely put the blame on ADS cars on that.
I absolutely think these things should move more slowly and it looks like so does nhtsa, but Id think just straight up saying ADAS cars are dangerous isn't really the case.

If you look at it this way, 392 crashes and 6 fatalities is a fairly small number when the number of roadway deaths is in the tens of thousands.
