so you seek to destroy the world to correct some wrong that was never going to be a problem to begin with if you hadn't meddled.

It all comes down to the fact that Tesla calls their system "Autopilot" when it should have been called "Advanced Cruise Control".
"It's OK, my car has ABS and traction control, it drives on ice just as well as on asphalt"
I've heard that many times.
