Cruise Automation, developing GMs robotaxis subjects it's human drivers to a month of training before they go on public roads. They're subject to regular safety audits. They keep 2 people in the car at all times. Human monitors take regular breaks. Because it's understood that monitoring a not-yet fully autonomous vehicle is excruciatingly boring, and it's very easy to get distracted or zone out.
The vigilance decrement is a well known and well understood condition of human nature, and Tesla and some of these other companies putting these automated, but not yet autonomous driving features in the public's hands are being willfully ignorant.
Musk may have well come out saying Walter Huang's autopilot death was his own dumb fault because he didn't have adamantium laced bones.
