My claim was more along the lines of if an unaided human can’t do a job safely or reliably, as was almost certainly the case 150-200 years ago, if not more years in the past, we make the jobs safer using tools such that human error is way less of a big deal, and AIs currently haven’t used tools that increased their reliability.
Remember, it took a long time for factories to be made safe, and I’d expect a similar outcome for driving, so while I don’t think 1 is everything, I do think it’s a non-trivial portion of the reliability difference.
