This is kinda why I dislike cars and self driving cars. Self driving cars are made more and more cost effective with compromises to safety. I feel like the US needs to mandate lidar on anything that has driver assist features. Self driving cars have been in the grey area for too long.

You're just decribing Tesla. It's not even most self driving car companies, it's just Tesla. If there are others cutting corners, I've never heard of them.
