>Should we regulate that? No, we should regulate idiots in cars. This is akin to the argument that we should replace steering wheel airbags with massive spikes in the center to promote safe driving. Could it work? Maybe, but seatbelts and airbags are more effective than regulating human behavior. In the same vein, there needs to be innovation in the self-driving safety space until we actually achieve Level 5. Autopilot operates in a weird chasm where the general public understands that it's not there yet, but expects it to be very soon. This leads to false assumptions about the capabilities of the system.
