You can say the exact same thing for people.
Exactly, you can't just drive without verifying that you're a safe driver. That's why we have a process to get a driver's license. Has Autopilot passed licensing?
So if an autonomous car can drive around the block and parallel park it's licensed?
Humans have a lower accident rate than Tesla's autopilot, it says so in the article itself.
I don't see that claim anywhere in the article.
In fact any comparisons I've found show Tesla's autopilot performing better than humans. One crash 4.41 million miles driven on autopilot in a tesla vs one crash for every 1.2 million miles in a tesla without autopilot, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

Yeah thats why we make drivers get licenced.
Being able to drive around the block and parallel park is enough for self driving to be certified?
