I don't know. People still fly despite the occasional mechanical error, programming error, or other non-individual error leading to fatalities.

I think if it is an order of magnitude safer that would override many of those emotional concerns. Insurance companies are decent at thinking rationally about problems. People might have emotional concerns, but I think a halved auto insurance bill would be enough to sway a critical majority of people.

But when you fly there is still a human face ‘in control’ (even if not to a sufficient degree) you can blame: the pilot.

That's a good point. Pilots are still an important psychological factor that makes it easier for people to fly.
