Sure, stories are scary.
Not only stories, but a video of a fatality...

AP1 is insanely safe.
Not really. I wouldn't have hit that truck. Now, I know you need to monitor it and take over, and Joshua Brown should have too, but still that's not "insanely safe" to me. And if it does that, I prefer to drive. I think with AP2.0 worked out, knowing it has so much more hardware and significantly faster processing, I will be able to relax more.
I'm sure some people get scared when planes crash, but it's not rational to worry.
It's not reasonable to get scared when planes crash? That's a pretty damn good reason to be scared to me! But I think you mean it's not reasonable to be scared to fly because some planes crash. That makes sense to me. I know that the probability is far greater that you will die in a vehicle crash driving to the airport, than in the flight you're taking. Still, I feel safer driving to the airport than flying. I never said my inability to relax using AP was rational but I think it's much more rational than my irrational driving to airport example.
Same thing if I was rock climbing for the first time and didn't "trust the equipment". But you get over it in time.
Speak for yourself... I'd never get used to rock climbing!
