What about things like Toyota's unintended acceleration debacle?

Just because driver's actions count for a lot of accidents doesn't mean that car manufacturer are absolved from doing anything. Considering how many accidents there are, cars need to be designed with that in mind, much like how touch keyboards work around our fat finger inputs.

User error is a design consideration (or else we wouldn't have undo commands in all of our software).

The Toyota debacle where they had buggy code but no evidence of anything other than driver error?

That doesn't contradict what I said.

Even if the code failed in some situations I would comfortably bet that most cases were user error.
