    1. The problem when you're a technologist without ethics is you release a vehicle, promising features work, and then put out functions, which you tell people to use, that can accidentally kill kids at worst, cost thousands at best. And you know this to be the case and don't care.

    Beta my ass. Releasing a feature where bugs can be counted in thousands of dollars to dozens of lives isn't a beta. It shouldn't even be an alpha. Releasing it to the public AND telling them to use it is fundamentally irresponsible. washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/09/13/elon-musk-said-tesla-could-drive-itself-across-country-by-one-just-crashed-backing-out-garage/

        I think it's useful as we seek a sort of middle ground to be much more humble with what we want our automated cars to do and look for cooperative non-technical solutions.

          Like yeah, an automated car lane is a great idea that has nothing to do with software. There's also the possibility of incentivizing its use with toll-relief or something along those lines.

            There's options here that come from collaborating with government instead of treating it like opposition. Tech's insistence that government be treated as enemy instead of partner and that solutions must be software have put back potential public transport innovations by decades.
