That's been a common phrase in engineering for a very long time.
Part of the engineering dilemma these days is that we're creating systems so complex that not only do the instructions not fit into your car, they won't fit into your brain either. "Operator error" in many cases means that the system exhibited behavior that the operator couldn't fully comprehend. Systems are getting too complex to be fully grasped by even a highly-trained and astute human mind.
