They're better than humans for two reasons. One, they always pay attention. Two, their cameras look in all directions simultaneously.

False statement it's not the camera that drives the car.

In the recent self drive car 'accident'

According to the NTSB report, the Uber vehicle struggled to identify Elaine Herzberg as she wheeled her bicycle across a four-lane road. Although it was dark, the cars radar and LIDAR detected her six seconds before the crash. But the perception system got confused: it classified her as an unknown object, then as a vehicle and finally as a bicycle, whose path it could not predict. Just 1.3 seconds before impact, the self-driving system realised that emergency braking was needed. But the cars built-in emergency braking system had been disabled, to prevent conflict with the self-driving system; instead a human safety operator in the vehicle is expected to brake when needed. But the safety operator, who had been looking down at the self-driving systems display screen, failed to brake in time. Ms Herzberg was hit by the vehicle and subsequently died of her injuries..
