I wonder what percentage are autopilot driving into things?

I would also like to know this. How many fatal crashes happened where autopilot was engaged in the 30 seconds prior to a fatal accident?

By definition, if the autopilot has disengaged it’s a more dangerous situation, so it is fair to place the blame on it. A relief pitcher doesn’t get charged with earned runs he inherits.

Very low.

Technically the driver drove into those things, since autopilot disengaged .4 seconds before impact.

Autopilot was just there to ensure the trip to that last .4 seconds wasn't too draining.
