We don't yet have evidence that Tesla's using Autopilot are any less safe than human drivers. We do have plenty of examples of traditional auto makers negligently ignoring safety regulations, manufacturing faulty vehicles and also causing fatalities. But somehow we don't hear the same pleas for sympathy for those souls.

We don't yet have any evidence that Teslas using Autopilot are any safer than human drivers. We do have plenty of evidence suggesting that humans are unable to pay proper attention when asked to do tasks like driving a level 3 automation of cars. There is plenty of reason to believe that this going to cause an increase in accidents, particularly of the fatal variety (say, running over a pedestrian at lethal speed).
