Do you have thoughts on why this is? Is it because, almost by definition, the remaining 0.1% are the toughest problems so the hardest to catch/solve? Or is it a human-factors issue where people get complacent when they know they can count on the machine 99.9% of the time and they lose the discipline to be vigilant enough to catch the remaining problems?

You might be interested in a couple of episodes of 99% invisible, called “Children of the Magenta” about pilots becoming complacent because the machine usually takes care of problems for them.

Basically if you grow up with a self driving car and never learn how to handle small fuck ups, how can you ever be expected to recover from a big fuckup? (Bad sensor reading, bad weather, shredded tire, etc)
