Well, yes. The amazing part is that the Autopilot does things that a competent driver would do.
Very often, humans do not do those things. And despite the carnage that results, over more than a century of experience with automobiles, we have not managed to make people significantly better drivers, nor come up with a licensing scheme that does more than weed out the most obviously medically-disqualified or incompetent people. At least here in the US, you take your drivers test (which is a ridiculous, comic farce) exactly once in your life, after which you can basically drive until you are blind, comatose, or--very rarely--you kill someone. But rarely the last one, not because people don't kill each other, but because it rarely results in a license suspension. We've just tacitly accepted that people are bad at driving.
So yeah, bring on the machines.
