Another way to measure success is when the number of fatalities from autonomous
vehicles becomes less than other vehicle fatalities. There will always be
fatalities but when your risk is less in an AV, why not ?
I've seen several mentions about accident rates, but that is misleading. It's
almost certain that right from the start AVs will have fewer accidents. It's
important to look at fatalities. And probably near fatalities, too.

I’m not so sure… Ultimately it all comes down to money and if, as I suspect is
quite feasible, autonomous vehicles develop sufficiently to the point where
they prevent ~90% of road traffic collisions (RTC), generally, then the savings
in financial terms will, on its own, make autonomous vehicles happen, wether we
like it or not. The costs I’m talking about are, for example, to insurance
companies from prevented personal injuries, to national and local government
and related agencies and authorities in dealing with the aftermath of
collisions (both immediate and subsequent eg emergency services, court time,
pathologists etc, etc) not to mention the huge and often completely overlooked
costs of post-collision traffic congestion… the list goes on.
