Asiana 214 [0] is also relevant. The aircraft went into that partly disabled the auto-throttle. The pilot expected the engines to spool up automatically, but they didn't. A key factor was that Asiana pilots were actively discouraged from hand flying the jet throughout most of the approach. They sometimes refer to younger pilots as "Children of the Magenta Line" [1] because of their over-reliance on the LCD flight director to fly the jet. A similar situation could easily occur with Tesla autopilot which works as expected 99.9% of the time, with the driver caught off guard in the 0.1% of the time it doesn't work properly and causing a crash.
