Again, some perspective about whether @Tesla gets unfair amount of negative press:
Chrysler recalled 1.1M vehicles after one man died because he didn't understand how to use the newly-designed gear shifter:

Seems like exactly the ssme type of issue: dangerous, poor-ux software-defined-control of a safety system in place of intuitive & fail-safe mechanical control.

I haven't used either system so I won't argue either way. But yes, from my layperson viewpoint, the Jeep shifter fatality does seem to be as attributable to user error as the Autopilot fatalities that Tesla blames on user error.

I was thinking of the latest Tesla braking distance bug. But I wouldn't call any of this "user error". The whole point of safety systems engineering is that they don't fail under user error.
