>> Software doesn’t get tired or distracted

It just has a lot of corner cases, untested even. This blind trust in SW and by extension, technology, is really exasperating.

Really curious, how would you quantify the reasonabl risk ? Should the risk be based on number of fatalities or on the number of potential fatalities that were averted ?

The data that you point to is about fatal crashes that made the news. What about all the cases that the SW malfunctioned and had a potential to be fatal ? Only tesla has that data or perhaps even they may not.
