Well shit, do I want to trust my safety at lethal velocities to an AI from the greedy, egomaniacal blood emerald heir, or the automaker founded by a greedy antisemite that built war machines for the Allies and the Axis?

Decisions, decisions...

Too bad we don't fund public research for moonshot technologies anymore. Not worth doing if some avarice infected sociopaths can't make a profit cutting corners and rushing their half baked, not yet safe let alone perfected tech to market.

(not against avs, against them not being developed using public funds with open standards that the public can scrutinize, not to mention preventing the unsafe but inevitable in capitalist hands issue of offering more aggressive AV software packages than competitors, and possibly up charging for better AI even within brands, causing an unsafe, Collison causing mess. Operation of motor vehicles requires untempered cooperation, a "free marketplace of ideas" has no place in how the cars interact on a freeway.)

I feel you, I totally get it. That said, I trust my safety to all kinds of medical technologies built by firms with equally seedy histories and motives.

What’s needed for self driving cars is a highly rigorous evaluation process. Which I actually think we may get in my country, the USA, since we already do a great job at crash testing
