Don't we even just start getting a chance at doing that with autonomous vehicles? When a car crash happens and driver is found at fault, we can say "let's fix driver training to prevent this from happening again!" but humans are diverse, many don't pay attention in driver's ed, and they retain learnings at different rates, so this isn't going to work very well. With a self driving car, at least, since the software is replicated in many vehicles (while humans aren't), we have an actual chance improving on the situation over time.
