If you focus on the crash itself, yes, this semi-autonomous murderbot failed to alert the human.
But the failure that killed Elaine Herzberg happened well before then, when the decision to disable the emergency brakes was made. It appears they disabled other safeties as well.
I don't disagree that playing a little loose with allowing new tech makes sense. We need to understand what we don't understand about them, accidents of course will happen, etc. But this looks a lot like foreseeable negligent homicide to me.
