They've also killed 3+ people who were using autopilot.

Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen, and every other auto manufacturer have all "killed" many more than three people by way of shortcomings/bugs/flaws. Medical devices, manufacturing equipment, and even space shuttles have "killed" people. It's tragic and people are writing better code every year, but mistakes still happen. We are hyper-aware of Tesla's because they are in the limelight right now.

And Ford was vilified for the Pinto. Volkswagen executives are going to jail for the emissions scandal. None of these actions are acceptable.
We are hyper-aware of Tesla because the CEO speaks out boisterously and (in my opinion intentionally) misleads people about autopilot's capabilities. Tesla deserves their place on the list of bad actors along with the rest.

Using it very incorrectly. With heavy consequences yes.

Yes, those are terrible losses. Uber killed that woman crossing the road at night in Phoenix. I'm sure Tesla has way more miles driven on auto than Uber, yet these accidents keep happening.
