Not exactly on the same line, but very related: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3395214 witch resurface a classic by Lisanne Bainbridge https://www.ise.ncsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Bainbrid...

IMVHO the tangible issues today are:

- who made the automation, since I can't really know it at a whole, so I have no option but trust;

- how complexity means vulnerability in misuse on scale terms.

Let's say: all car's of a certain brand a day stop working here and there in some busiest intersections of a country road network. A car of an activist hit some school children on a trip, he/she say the car was driving outside hes/shes control, the car state the contrary. And so on.

That's NOT really an "automation issue" but a deliberate kind of development of automation.
