People (and technical people) like to believe that one data point isn't important, that it's an anecdote and doesn't matter.
But as a lawyer once said, "I convict with anecdotes."
In any case the reports are interesting because with them you can start to understand the shape of the autopilot's capabilities and limitations. IMO the individual reports (like the ones here) are nice and detailed; the kind of summary data the article wants is pointless, because it doesn't include any real detail in it. Your autopilot worked on a 400 mile stretch of empty Kansas highway, big deal.
