While it's imposible to know if detected AI errors are a few among a sea of undetected AI errors, leading to an under-reporting of errors, this coverage is a prime example of overreporting, due to AI being in the limelight right now. I am pretty sure each and every automated car crash will get ample coverage, while the thousands of daily crashes involving human drivers will keep barely going above local media's attention if anything.</blockquote>
