The problem is how the cause deaths are perceived. An imperfect (aka "randomly kills you") AI is far scarier than a statistic that people interpret as "x% of bad drivers". Most people think they are better than the average driver. Not to mention that a lot of deaths are due to bad other drivers. It's why people freak out about terrorism more than they do about car crashes or drug addicition.
