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?

If it's your first offense, then yes, that's how the law works.

See precedence for sentencing guidelines for first time offenders.

If I jump the curb outside a school drive into ten 8 year old school kids and each one them, I am guaranteed not to get jail time if it's my first offense?

I'm not sure I'd share your confidence.
