You know people are going to do it, though, so it's good to have checks on it.

I disagree wholeheartedly. This technology empowers people to make stupid decisions and rationalize them.

We never had people deliberately sleeping in cars (with pillows!) before autopilot was a thing. If the kinds of people prone to make these types of decisions come to trust technology to save them, we're going to wind up in a worse spot than before the technology existed.

People will rely on the tech to save them when it was never meant for that.

Not just "this" technology -- technology in general. There are always risk adjustments; airbags and seat belts had similar riskier-driving effects.
