I think the problem right now is that driverless cars are still way worse than human drivers in a lot of edge cases. And buffalo buffalo buffalo when you have so many people driving every day you end up with a lot of edge cases.

That's probably true, but their handling of edge cases will only get better the more time they spend on the roads, and it already looks like they're significantly safer than humans under normal circumstances, which make up the vast majority of the time spent on the road.
