Where does it end?
There is no end. Technology is taking over. Have you ever heard of robots and computers? And lately, have you heard of the "home assistants" like Alexa and Google Home, and the numerous home-automation gadgets which will be assisting you in the "smart home"?
Are airliners next?
Haven't you heard of the private Uber and Lyft planes? They're under development as we speak.
Where are my crash-free airplanes?
Not possible until gravity is gotten rid of. Even the smart planes and smart vehicles, will still have to obey the laws of nature, meaning that, unless someone figures out a way around gravity, there will be "mishaps".
...my banana peel-free sidewalks?
Now you're getting ridiculous, but, even that might not be a problem in the future, when robots might be doing the peeling of bananas and then discarding the peels for you and won't be dropping them anywhere for people to slip and fall.
There is no such thing as a risk-free America and there never will be.
Nobody has ever claimed that there won't be any risks. What there will be a lot fewer risks with a lot better technological future.
BTW, why did you feel that you had to get away from the subject at hand, which was EVs and autonomous vehicles?

No, I was just egging you on to see how far you were willing to go in answering a series of strictly rhetorical questions.
