A computer supervising the driver is what got Boeing into problems with their MCAS resulting in the 2 plane crashes
Tesla also doesn't say that it's safe to let the car drive. There are ample warnings and messages and feedback that say that you have to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel at all times.
There are likely more non-AP Tesla/non-Tesla auto accidents and fatalities than there have been AP related ones. I feel safer riding in a Tesla with AP engaged and the driver having his eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

There are ample warnings and messages and feedback that say that you have to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel at all times. Tesla had to be "encouraged" to say that "at all times" was in fact an amount less than "every 15 minutes", which it was just a couple of years ago, touch the steering wheel four times an hour.
- civilitty 7y agoWhat got Boeing into problems is management overpromising something engineering couldn't deliver, just like Tesla is doing with "autopilot." Boeing promised a brand new and improved jet that was cheaper because it packed in a bunch of improvements without having to go through certification on a new airframe or pilot retraining. Engineering tried their best but either through negligence or "just following orders" and bureaucracy they failed catastrophically, as any engineer will tell you would happen with a non-redundant (in a 3+ vote configuration) sensor that could override pilot control inputs based on faulty readings
