I'd imagine computers are more consistent. If the situation is one the automation can handle, it will handle it pretty much every time, assuming it's in good maintenance. Whereas a human's capability varies widely based on a multitude of factors from fatigue to distractions to medical issues to plain old overconfidence.
Ultimately, it's probably easier to quantify the likelihood of an failure in automation than it is to quantify the likelihood of a human error.
