You can argue the point until blue in the face but you're not going to improve anyones safety by chasing this argument. Humans are terrible at managing risk. Humans will always make mistakes. Telling them to 'not follow closely' is futile. If you don't design systems to take account of this then your safety practices will be ineffective. If autonomous systems are to be on the road with human users then those autonomous should be designed in a way to minimise the mistakes humans make. They should be designed that way because they can be designed that way.
