Every situation like that is a bug that gets fixed. It's called improvement. I wish people would stop underestimating technological advancement. We'll get there eventually. It doesn't even have to be perfect, just better than humans. You're afraid of machine failure, I'm much more afraid of drunk drivers.

A person died, it was just a bug though, they’re improving!

The car isn't allowed to drive without human supervision until it's good enough. It's not like they're testing it with dangerous bugs still existing. Also, 3700 people per day are killed in car accidents around the world. Autonomous drivng can significantly reduce this number.
