Every year young drivers die because they were inexperienced and didn't realize they were going too fast to too slow for a certain situation.
Once full self driving is statistically safer than humans how will you not let people use it? It is like saying you would rather have 10 children die because of bad driving skills rather than 1 child die because they were not paying attention at all times.

I'm fine with self-driving if/when it works (though I'm pretty sure from watching FSD Beta videos shot and edited by their biggest fans with a few interventions every 5 minutes, this is many many many years away for Tesla). But the company selling the self driving has to be responsible to some degree for the mistakes it makes.
Just statistically safer won’t cut it - it will have to me many orders of magnitude safer. Instead of drunk people and mobile phone users dying it will be random accidents that humans would easily have avoided but is some weird edge case for the ML model. It’ll be a cars plowing down kids on trikes on a clear day, all captured in perfect HD on the cars cameras and in the press the next day with the crying driver blaming the car.
That’ll be a hard thing to overcome for the public. The drunk person “had it coming”, but did little Timmy?
As far as that goes if we want to save lives we can just regulate that semi-autonomous cars have to enforce the speed limit + 0 visibility from fog and heavy rain is an automatic pull over and wait for conditions to improve.
I don't think cars enforcing the law is a good idea at all. You have the moral and legally defensible right to break the law where not doing so would create substantial and immediate risk to yourself of others.
