When I got my NYC drivers license, the full end to end test was 8 minutes (I got a printout) on empty roads.

I’d take a high quality autonomous vehicle over a tired Uber driver any day as a pedestrian

Well I think "high quality" is doing a lot there. Obviously autonomous vehicles would be safer if they work perfectly -- the concern is that they will not.

Yeah, approximately 10 minutes for me to pass driving test (from second attempt). And then around a year of driving (effectively training myself) in city to get more or less comfortable with traffic.
