American Auto has good bones - a woman becoming CEO of a company in an industry that she is unfamiliar with and has little to no interest in, a man-child trust funder that is only kept around because of his lineage, and a crew of loveable misfits without the ability to self-reflect.
The issue, however, lies with the writing. There are absolutely fantastic jokes that hit hard, (S1Ep2's "I want to donate his skin" bit had me both horrified and rollicking) but they are the exception and not the rule. Some of the comedic timing is off so lines intended as jokes don't land, and the conflict that needs to be resolved is a plot hole/poorly written or not well explained.
Why could they not just introduce the self-driving car and work out the kinks afterwards? There's no way that the Bjork Blossom Franken-car would be viable. The show has potential, they just need to reign it in a little.
