Right now they do between a combination of extra oversight, generally travelling at slow speeds, and being resticted in area. Kind of like how children are less likely to die in a swimming pool with lifeguards compared to rivers and beaches without lifeguards.
Once they are released into the wild I expect a number of high profile deaths, but also assume that those fatalities will be significantly lower than the human average due to being set to be overly cautious. I do expect them to have a high rate of low speed collisions when they encounter confusing or absent road markings in rural areas.
Not self driving but "driver assist" on a rental we had recently would see skid marks on the road and swerve to follow them - every single time. That's going to be a difference between the automated systems and human drivers - humans do some horrifically negligent and terrible things, but... most humans tend not to repeat the same mistake too many times.
With "the algorithm" controlling thousands or millions of vehicles, when somebody finds a hack that causes one to crash, they've got a hack that will cause all similar ones to crash. I doubt we're anywhere near "safe" learn from their mistakes self-recoding on these systems yet, that has the potential for even worse and less predictable outcomes.
