Occam's razor in a situation where a hype man promised step-function improvements for well over a decade is that this is not an honest assessment or an assessment not based on honest data.

Instead we have Tesla suggesting that these cars are actually more safe. Of course they are very biased and you'd be well advised to take that with a grain of salt. There have been some incidents of course but overall it seems not a whole lot of bad stuff is actually happening. This, despite people insisting this is super dangerous, isn't working, cannot possibly be working because of reasons (imagined or real), etc.
Meanwhile other manufacturers now have proper self driving cars on the roads without a driver. Those to have had some incidents but not a whole lot of fatal ones. Lots of nay-sayers and yet the doom they spell just doesn't seem to actually happen.
