It's too bad the avoided accidents due to Autopilot and other driving assist features never get reported.

Is there any research on the ratio of negative news to positive news being reported?

..unless you are the one developing the technology to prevent accidents. Identification then becomes as simple as watching the outcome anytime your preventative system engages.
