If the driver gets lulled into a false sense of security by a convenience system like this and the automation fails, it's one thing to blame the driver, and that may or may not be fair depending on how much trust you place in the average driver's competence, but the (hypothetical) victim is still dead, and who we decide to blame won't make one iota of difference to that.
