It’s because from a safety standpoint, procedural controls are not preferable to engineered controls. PPE controls are lower still.

It would be like alleviating a motorcycle manufacturer from responsibility of a bad design by claiming riders wouldn’t be hurt if they were wearing all their protective gear. It may be true while also being sub-standard design practice for a safety-critical system.

Isn’t that exactly what Tesla does? Deflect all autopilot/FSD blame on users because they were supposed to be “in charge“?
Exactly? No. Tesla drivers are not trained in emergency procedures. They're not trained at all.

Pilots are.

Yeah and at the same time marketing it as "Full Self Driving". :x
