Punishing “poor slobs” is the cornerstone of deterrence for most crimes, why doesn’t it apply here as well?

  It depends on what you want to achieve. If all you want is revenge, then by all means, punish them as hard as you wish. Make them listen to tesla autopilot advertising until their ears bleed. The harm is done by that time. If you want to avoid harm, then you're well served to take the failure mode into account - it's not a conscious decision to take attention away from the autopilot. It's a fundamental psychological mechanism and we're all prone to fall victim. The only way to avoid the trap is to not use autopilot - or change how it works and adress the need for changes to the party that (mis)designed the feature and has power to change it.

  Humans are fundamentally incapable of babysitting repeptitive boring tasks that require interaction only in failure cases. Read this repeatedly until you've answered your question.
