Using 1 death as propaganda to halt and/or be skeptical of autonomous driving is way more dangerous than autonomous driving itself. Of course there are cases where a human could have made a better decision, but on the aggregate, a computer will do a better job driving the car than you or I. It doesn't get distracted, doesn't drink, doesn't get tired, doesn't fall asleep, etc, etc, etc. Though I'm sure there are many Tesla skeptics lurking, they have the data to back up this idea - that even driver-assist features reduce accidents. Again, there are edge cases a la the guy who drover under a truck because the car didn't see it against a brightly lit sky, but it's dangerous to push a false narrative based on these few, highly publicized cases.
