Unfortunately this is one of those things that you can't significantly develop/test on closed private streets. They need the scale, and the public traffic, and the idiots in the drunkards and the kids speeding. The only thing that's going to stop them from working on autopilot will be that it's no longer financially reasonable to keep going. Even a couple handfuls of deaths aren't going to stop them.

The fact is that most technology that we take for granted today went through a similar evolutionary phase with public use before they became as safe as they are now, especially cars themselves. For well over a century, the automobile has made countless leaps and bounds in safety improvements due to data gathered from public use studies.
We learn by doing.
