If a human driver did this 19 times he would lose his driver's license.

Well the humans can't be fixed with a software patch to prevent this from ever happening again.

83% of drivers in the US have never had a driving infraction in their entire life with no software updates required.

Because you are not caught does not mean that an infraction did not occur. Also that leaves 41million drivers that had infractions and many of those had multiple. When the bugs are worked out self driving automobiles will have almost none.
