I just think your benchmark is confused - in some ways unreasonably
high and in some ways laughably low. But worst, you can't measure it.

Easily said. Why don't you outline how a vehicle purporting to meet
your benchmark could be tested against it.

Personally I don't think there is any useful benchmark except the death
and injury statistics. Entire classes of error will predictably vanish
- speeding, for example. It is reasonable to assume that new classes of
error will emerge, as unique to autonomous vehicles as drowsy driving
is to humans. Certain forms of analysis paralysis, perhaps. But
probably easier to program our way out of :-)
