How safe does self-driving need to be?

“It isn’t enough to be safer than human drivers, Autopilot ultimately needs to be more than 10 times safer than human drivers. The threshold is achieving safety far in excess of the average human driver. Ultimately, autonomous cars will be >1,000% safer than human-driven cars.”
