>I really really doubt that! The car manufacturers will fight tooth and nail to be seen as the company providing the safest cars We seen competition not working in many sectors, like ISPs is US, operating systems for desktops or mobile phones... IF the self driving component in the car could be swapped so you can buy say Tesla but get the self driving package from BMW or from Google then that could help competition, but without this if all companies have a similar failure rate then they can concentrate on competing on marketing,horse power, price, efficiency and not adding some extra safety, at least until some important person or a big number or children get killed by a very stupid issue like a car hit a wall because it did not see it because it got confused by some drawings on the wall.
