It's difficult to see what your main point is, but what I take from it is the idea that aircraft autopilots and self-driving cars are two completely separate problem domains, with very different requirements, resources, and operating regimes.
It would seem to be foolish to have a goal of having "no fatalities per 100 billion miles", or whatever the current spec level for airline travel is, as the minimum operating requirement for automobiles. Likewise requiring two expert-level operators at the controls, with re-certification every six months seems to be out of scope. So why should the AP try to be designed assuming those things are true?
