Human-driven vehicles are generally better at recognizing exceptional situations (e.g. accident scenes, emergency vehicles, pedestrians doing weird things, etc) and avoiding them when possible, or extricating themselves from those situations when they can't be avoided. As things currently stand, self-driving vehicles generally seem worse at recognizing these situations; when one occurs, they often freeze in place, blocking traffic, until a human controller takes over.
