Human drivers are very very bad. Being better than humans is a low bar with plenty of room to be bad as well.

It still seems to be a high bar to achieve
How high the bar is isn't worth arguing about. The question is do self driving cars clear it?
Those who work on self driving cars say they have cleared it - but they have an obvious bias. Nobody independent has done a full study of this, so we have no particular reason to believe them, but we also shouldn't completely discount them (when the truth is in their favor everyone with a bias will tell it, and some people are even able to overcome their bias when the truth is against them)
No they aren’t. Billions drive around every day with minimal collisions. Far more people get raped than hit by cars.
