Tesla launched autopilot like a startup in beta mode before big co's and regulators could slow it down. If you believe computers will eventually be safer drivers, would you prefer:
A) Autopilot launches gradually over 20 years by a big co, costing hundreds of thousands of lives due to 10 year delay or
B) Tesla launches fast below the radar, iterates quickly, makes data-driven incremental updates to autopilot and saves 10 years of human error deaths?
