Can you imagine what would happen if Ford or Chevy downloaded "beta" software to all their cars that eventually caused a finger to get caught in a door handle, never mind a death?

It's not just Tesla, it's also Toyota:

and probably everyone else, they were just lucky.
Now I don't know whether Tesla's problem was due to dismal programming practices (like Toyota's probably was) or due to delivering Autopilot before a reliable algorithms for obstacle detection were designed, as I suspect, but in the end it makes little difference.
Correction: it does - because with good programming practices one could prevent Toyota's problems, while Tesla's may be currently unsolvable.
