Well for example all the YouTube videos that show how Tesla drivers take over the wheel in case of a failure.

Those failures include driving straight into barriers.

Other systems like OpenPilot show the same.

When it fails you better take control of the wheel or you will crash hard.

For clarity, I personally mistrust AI driving and wouldn't be comfortable using it, but the question I have is more along the lines of - if you take the incidence of serious driver error (e.g texting and crashing, speeding and sliding off a road, falling asleep etc) does that happen less often than autopilot going nutso for the demographic driving it? Failing hard seems very possible for both, so stats backing up that AI fails hard regularly seem applicable.
