It's weird to compare the fact that autopilot could add 9's of safety to situations that are already 99.99% safe, which at the scale of "almost all drivers" means a lot of avoided deaths, while at the same time potentially adding risk to situations that with humans in the loop would be much safer.
For example, if it makes deaths on highways go down by 1 in 10k, but now you need to accept the risk of the car turning you onto oncoming traffic at an intersection because it was bad weather.
It's a tough change to accept when the failure hits you personally, and not one I know we should blindly agree.
