Self Driving cars (Tesla; who is faaaar from it, among others) will kill people. But people are shitty drivers on their own; has to start somewhere and Tesla is the first to get anything close to this level in the hands of the general population (kind of, beta program is still limited in release))
Honestly; i have a Model 3 with FSD - Despite charging issues; I'd rather road trip with it than my wifes (nicer) car because the AutoPilot is better the highway than what else is out there. An idiot crawling into the backseat with AP on is dangerous; but AP in general makes me feel much more comfortable on a highway trip; and comfortable == less chance of dozing off and not noticing the oncoming construction zone.
This runs into the same problem that led to the regulation of medicine: people can put all kinds of supposed remedies out there which may or may not do anything at all to solve the problem and may have worse consequences than the thing they're meant to cure.
