Q: "What's the primary design objective of the next-gen chip?"
Mumbled Answer: "Safety."
...doesn't that mean the current-gen chip... isn't as safe as you want?

Volvo leadership states the exact same thing about their car designs. The primary motivation “in everything they do” is safety.
The statement can be made entirely distinct from the current safety level.
Optimally safe should still be the goal. That is, no human could have provided alternative input to the computer that would have created a safer outcome.
I worry that the laws on the books are insufficient to judge whether a computer is safe to drive. If Tesla already has plans to increase safety, I'd like to know how they judge it, where they think they are, where they'd like to improve, etc.
As a voter.
1) computer has faster reaction times.
2) 360-degree awareness
3) better awareness of vehicle performance.
Imagine a scenario where you are at speed and get a tire blowout. The car can sense it instantly through tire pressure sensor, and counter the swerve appropriately - something that humans are very poorly prepared or practiced for.
Alternatively, a driver in a neighboring lane makes an unsafe lane change into your lane. The car sees him, honks the horn, moves/brakes/accelerates to avoid the other car, before you've even seen whats happening.
