Nominating that for the O-rly award. I mean, what's the human to automated car ratio?

And when the self-parking cars stop, confused, half way in the space, that is not an accident? ...or just human error on the part of the programer?
I suspect the meaning of that statement is rather:
due to human error (rather than equipment failure such as steering failure, brake failure or structural collapse.)

Having said that, at least if the computer is driving, you can be pretty sure it's not doing its nails or eating a BLT.
