Sure, the two are not exactly the same, as the MAXes appear to have crashed because some pilots weren't trained/knowledgeable enough to understand how to address a software malfunction, whereas the Teslas appear to have crashed because some drivers weren't trained/skilful enough to react quickly enough to a software malfunction.

I'm not convinced that distinction makes a tendency to accelerate into static objects a comparatively acceptable teething problem for the autopilot software though, even less so for people who support Tesla's stated aim of full autonomy asap...
