I'm sure you'll say, "yes but that's a driver attention problem, not a technology problem", but to me they're the same thing. If you give drivers technology that encourages them to not pay attention then accidents caused as a result of that are partially your fault.
Especially after hearing about incidents like this, you won't find me going through my email while letting "autopilot" do its thing. I don't think I would before this, but there's certainly a lower probability that I would now. I'm being trained.
If you want an actually applicable analogy, I'll pull one I've used before. Say you buy an oven that has this great auto-baking feature that lets you just put some cookie dough inside it and then come back whenever you want, even hours later, to have fresh baked cookies waiting. That's how it's marketed - the AutoBake Oven. Except the manufacturer says that you're still supposed to watch the oven at all times in case something goes wrong. So you make some cookies with it and they turn out great, and nothing goes wrong. And hey, it's the AutoBake Oven, right? It says it will bake things automatically so you don't have to worry about them for hours at a time. So you logically decide to put some dough in there and then go the grocery store for a few minutes to get some items for dinner. And you come back and your house burned down because the AutoBake Oven lit itself on fire due to having subpar sensors and beta software in it. Now tell me you wouldn't file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
