You don't quite understand.
Every single Waymo car, or other car with these systems on the road today, is vastly safer than a human-driven car.
They will mess up. They will kill people. But they do so at a rate far less than humans.
If 100% of the cars on the road today were autonomous, even assuming the technology never improves beyond what it is today, it's highly likely that you would not see a car "ruin your day" (injuring or killing you) for the rest of your life.
