"Anything that is supposed to do the job of driving a car" is a set that includes humans. Do you therefore believe that any human (of which there are thousands per year) who makes a mistake resulting in a traffic fatality should be destroyed?
Since I don't have the points, I'm modding you up in words. Someone clearly made a very poor decision with this game, but as an actual game programmer who has experienced a situation like you described, I can fully agree it wasn't the devs themselves.
Incidentally, as a secondary programmer in an independent (but marketed like AAA) game project, I also got the great joys of sending repeated major bug reports. Reports that were never addressed, let alone fixed, until the last 24 hours of development when I was finally handed a full copy of the source code. Not that it mattered, since the project manager added his own features at the end that doubled the final game's bugs.

I sense a problem with this viewpoint.
... to "outsour" our jobs. Nobody likes it when a job goes sour.

I would +1 this so hard if I hadn't already used up my mod points.
