He took the car to the shop and Tesla said "Works for me, can't repro".

Or it can drive over a toddler or pin someone against a wall until they die.

There might be situations where this could happen but humans have such a bad track record when it comes to driving/parking/paying attention in general that i'd trust a good autopilot over the average person. There will be bugs but at least we're able to work on them. Improving human driving skills seems unfeasible with any other current technology.
