The point is people have risk tolerances, if the average driver is taking an acceptable risk then suggesting a lower risk than that is unacceptable is hardly reasonable. If that level of risk is actually unacceptable then you should be suspending peoples licenses for doing 5 MPH over the speed limit etc. Instead driving laws are based on a wider risk tolerance.
People count disengagements directly before collisions such as NTSB is doing in the article. Where people disagree on how wide that window should be. Disengaging 15 seconds before a collision is hardly autopilots fault, but even picking such a wide threshold doesn’t somehow push autopilot to less safe than the average driver.
