Automation won't kill you because it makes a mistake, because it's gone nuts, because it feels suicidal or it's just having a real bad day. Automation will kill you because someone got the design wrong, or the implementation, or failed to account for the situation in the design, or... essentially all the ways transport and engineering can kill you today anyway. Or maybe you just ended up on the wrong side of the trolley problem - that one'll be new.
One guy behind a locked door? Not sure. I may take the automation instead. Maybe that's the intention, to make that appear to be the choice.
