Literally not a scrap of proof that is the case here and yet you are willing to state it as fact.
> From what I've found you're more than twice as likely to get into a wreck when using this tech.
Source? This smells like FUD.

> Stats estimate that per million miles driven, there are 9.1 self-driving car accidents, whereas there are only 4.1 crashes per million miles driven with human-operated vehicles.
What stats? Where are these stats?
Also the type/severity of accident matters here as well which further muddies the water. All that said I'm not willing to accept the status quo just because the new tech has caused a few deaths (5 according to the link you provided) since the status quo is 30-40K/year [0]. Obviously the important stat is a per-capita-type number that gives us "deaths per car of a given automation level, 0-5".
