I don't think that this is the right way of looking at it. Humans, especially modern humans, and especially Americans, are shitty drivers. Anything that can help prevent accidents is a huge positive - and these systems do help prevent and mitigate accidents.
According to the NHTSA data, car accidents occur at a rate of about one every 652,000 miles in the U.S. Teslas on autopilot averaged one accident in about 6 MILLION miles in 2022 (according to Tesla). That is orders of magnitude better. Even if their numbers are off by half, the improvement over human drivers is insane - and the number of innocent people not killed or injured is significant.
And even in the accidents that did happen with Tesla, I would be willing to bet that human error played a huge factor in most of them.
