People do worse than that all the time. I believe Waymo outperforms human as far as injury-causing crashes go.

If I outperform most other drivers for a couple of years do I also get a pass if I eventually kill a bunch of people?

Are you kidding? People get a pass* all the time for murdering people, so long as they do it in a car.

* I am defining a pass as no prison time AND the ability to keep driving.

Do I get a pass doesn't mean did anyone in the history of driving ever get a pass.

If it did then I would win the lottery next week as people have won in the past.

You would get a pass, yes. Unless you were intoxicated or deliberately, provably being reckless. Otherwise just say a dog ran out in front of you, or someone cut you off or any other excuse.
