I think the point you're trying to make (maybe) is: aviation autopilots will also lead to disaster if used improperly, but that doesn't imply that they're bad or deficient technology (but rather that they were used improperly). First, aviation autopilots are a mature, tested, reliable, certified technology and are deployed only under narrow, precisely delineated circumstances by trained professionals (not a beta product tested "in production" by amateurs). Next, though, you imply that the FSD was used somewhat irresponsibly or improperly here. I fail to see that. He used it as it was supposed to, and when he saw that it was swerving into the pylon, he reacted immediately (within the limits of human reaction time), which was insufficient. How was that improper use?
