I think a more apt comparison is miles driven while distracted. the guy was watching a movie and completely not paying attention. How many accidents were and are caused by people texting and driving per x number of miles? There were apparently enough that they passed laws against distracted driving in many states in america.
This is a beta product that explicitly says not to use it without paying attention. there are alarms that are supposed to go off and the vehicle is supposed to slow down to a halt if you do not have your hands on the steering wheel.
I see it like the beginning of the airline industry. At first they weren't as comfortable and safe as they are now. any time they have an airline disaster they do a thorough investigation and if it is warranted they will issue new mandates that airlines need to follow. over time, every accident makes air travel safer from those mistakes/edge cases/etc.
