Aircraft have triple redundant systems and they still fail from time to time. When the autopilot detects an anomaly it sounds an alarm and disengages thus forcing the pilots to rapidly assimilate the abnormal conditions and take corrective action. In many cases they fail to do so and the plane crashes. A case in point was the Air France disaster over the Atlantic a couple of years ago. I'm not holding my breath waiting for the big car makers to build self-driving cars that are better than current aircraft. And human car drivers are even less trained than pilots.
