When we’re talking about public safety, it should be entirely about statistics. Basing public safety policy on feelings and emotions is how you get 3 hour long TSA checkpoints at airports to prevent exactly zero attempted hijackings in the last 22 years.
Personally -and this is why you simply aren’t getting your way, because it’s a broad and legitimate concern, - but I’m not interested in letting some corporate special interest plow through the regulatory processes required to manage things such as accountability and justice frameworks with having lethal robots have sovereignty on our public roads. Even if they are less lethal than people - which happen to have pesky rights afforded to them that aren’t afforded to autonomous vehicles. The data is great and hopeful for a good future - the implementation matters. TSA is a false-equivalence, the situations are not the same.
I am not saying we should exempt autonomous vehicle manufacturers from regulation. I’m actually saying the opposite: that we need to base any decision on a rigorous analysis of safety data for these vehicles, which means the manufacturers should be required to provide said data to regulatory agencies.
Okay but now there is a tragic accountability scenario to deal with. You forget you are discussing human beings and not statistics
