It needs to be regulated to hold manufacturers responsible when their software isn't good enough. My understanding is that there already probably is enough regulation and government agencies just need to hold Tesla accountable.

Personally, I'm all for cars driven by AI iff it's better and safer than a human driver. Human drivers make a lot of mistakes and driving is the most dangerous everyday activity many people do. But if the AI isn't better than a human, that's a problem. I don't need AI drivers to be flawless, as that's an unrealistic bar. I just need them to be undeniably better than humans. Everything I'm hearing about Tesla's self driving is that they aren't.

Especially Tesla. I am very into computer vision research but I would never trust a vehicle that relies on only that with 0 LIDAR or other sensing technologies in place.

Unfortunately you can still be hit by cars that idiots let the AI drive.

I'm convinced that the self-driving AI from competent companies is better than human drivers already. The bar isn't perfection, the bar is the average driver, and the average driver is bad.

Having said that, I'd never get in a car with Tesla's self-driving solution. Musk polluted the term "full self-driving" to cars that definitely weren't.
