Of course there are dreamy predictions coming from promoters promoting a rationale for the dreamy technology they are trying to sell to investors and speculators.
The technology doesn't exist yet... so no, I cannot tell you of any such statistics. But hey, we cannot tell you how many cyclists are injured by motor vehicles and how, either, because that data isn't collected or reported. (death stats are, injury stats are not)
But the question that was being discussed is: "How much of an reduction in deaths would it take to make AV technology more acceptable than human drivers?"
Care do delve into that?
Or are you just going to dismiss the hypothetical question based on your perception that such technology will never exist?
