There is only one fatality per 100 million vehicle miles in the US, so 400k miles of testing isn't enough to conclude that Google's vehicles are safer than human drivers.

Fender benders and other minor accidents occur a lot more often than fatal road accidents. I suppose the frequency of these involving the Google car(s) as compared to the frequency of similar mishaps in the general driving population could already tell us something about the (current) safety of self-driving cars.
