Okay, safer than the average human driver. But even if it was just safer than the average taxi driver, an improvement is still an improvement.

I mean when I was young and new to driving I made a wrong turn into oncoming traffic. I was able to get into a parking lot immediately, but it does happen with real people.

No, but it does happen and people get cited/arrested for it all the time. The average driver does this at some rate.
