Roadways have failure modes of their own, pavement fails. Vehicles have parts that fail. Pedestrians are 1/6 of all motor vehicle fatalities. Dangerous weather happens at least once a year in most of the country. People are allowed to and still enjoy riding motorcycles.
Meanwhile, excessive speed and intoxication account for more than 50% of all fatalities. You can solve this problem without having to wait for an AI car, it's probably morally justified to do even if you think those AI cars will arrive "any minute now."
Finally.. I am not looking forward to the day when a parent puts their kids in an AI car and does not accompany them to their destination. People will invent new failure modes for you.
