Autonomous vehicles found to be safer than human drivers, except in two types of situations
-
Tech Xplore[^]:
They did find two scenarios in which human-driven cars were safer: at dawn/dusk and when turning.
Going forward and going in reverse?
But (more) seriously folks - hearing they're less safe when turning does not give me confidence in them. I also would really like to see some numbers for autonomous driving when the road markings are not clearly visible (aka winter driving, or even spring with the sand on the side of the road)

Dawn/dusk - Autonomous vehicles need sunglasses and clean sensors. These are the two biggest problems when the sun is low in the sky. I suspect Tesla's FSD, which is the only non-geofenced system on the road today, would pass the driving test in most jurisdictions.
