From: Guppy.
Most hull losses that are blamed on pilot error occurred because of a malfunction that was mishandled. You'd have to assume that the future automation could manage the same malfunction better.

Self driving cars, and I mean mainstream, not one or two Tesla’s in LA, or Phoenix, but running around the Midwest in snow and ice like today’s cars do, I’ll take notice.
Once freight trains with their hazardous chemicals, that can wipe out a whole town are manless, I’ll grow concerned.
Once it hits the cargo airlines, I’ll panic.

Humans are the weakest link in the accident chain.

To have such hubris that US pilots are immune from such mistakes invites disaster. We all mistakes. Every flight. Every day. CRM and TEM trap most mistakes but it only takes a few holes to line up to have an accident.
How do you think Sully would have done if it had been solid IMC?

While the 737MAXs had some seriously flawed human factors assumptions built in to MCAS, I agree the two crashes should have been avoidable. But that’s my point. It was an incorrect response by HUMAN pilots to a malfunction of one system. Boeing has a prescribed response to the failure these aircraft experienced. And prescribed responses are something computers can do with much better accuracy than humans.

Nobody is saying humans are immune. What I’m saying is that your $9/hr software programmer in India has a long way to go to guarantee the results of a competent crew.
