The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
Considering that driving is (statistically) the most dangerous thing the average person does, I wouldn’t really say that people use the steering wheel just fine.
It’s just that computers are currently worse at it than humans.
I wouldn’t even say that without seeing statistics to back it up. The news doesn’t cover routine traffic accidents, but one Tesla screws up one thing and that story is front page. Don’t rely on anecdotes and emotions.

agreed. if “autopilot” becomes a better driver than the average person, then it has a right to exist.
Despite autopilot’s flaws, this is already true, if we are speaking statistically.
