For the most part, ML doesn't control high-risk things with a human in the loop. The worst cases for ML so far have been stock market crashes from algo trading.

Its entirely possible that an update to self-driving car's algorithms cause a day of chaos as the self-driving cars lose control and crash. Worst case scenario.
I agree that the secondary effects of the ML systems are going to be far worse than the primary. We can only see how it goes.

Global warming is an indirect, nth-order effect from an industrialized economy based on fossil fuels.
