I interpret the point of the article as being that normal defensive drivers will learn to handle autonomous vehicles common mistakes and anticipate them too, saving everyone from accidents. This is since "autonomous" vehicles are plainly just as dumb, but in maybe other ways, as the most reckless of drivers out there. Going beyond this state to handle all kinds of "special cases" (that are still quite common) is really hard. The article is not about any specific brand (Tesla or not), or implementation details like teraFlops, LiDAR or not, etc. so those discussions seem off-topic.
