Side point: why are regulators letting Tesla owners install beta self-driving software? And why are Tesla allowed to ship it to them? Seems stupidly risky.

  Remember when Congress freaked out over Toyota and the accelerator incidents? This autopilot deserves the same scrutiny that Toyota went through.

    But Toyota isn't a home-grown boy ;)

  Because a large portion of the population in the USA is philosophically opposed to any kind of government regulation or action. To them government is merely an obstacle to their personal wealth creation.

    I'm philosophically opposed to government regulation in some instances. To me some regulation is an obstacle to making a well-informed choice. If my choice does not harm others then let me make the choice. I do not want someone making the choice for me because some people might make the wrong choice.

      Name an economic choice you make that doesn't affect anyone else in at least some way.

    Some of those members of population have lived in Europe and saw what high taxation does, and ran away from it.

    > Because a large portion of the population in the USA is philosophically opposed to any kind of government regulation or action. My biggest issue is that it seems like regulations are being wielded as weapons against those that aren't in the good graces of the government for whatever reason. Companies have gotten crucified for false advertising claims and Tesla seems untouchable. People go to jail over securities fraud and Musk gets a slap on the wrist and is mouthing off on TV the next month. He's supposed to have a twitter sitter right now per his securities fraud agreement, would any reasonable lawyer have allowed him to tweet about gamestop or dogecoin?

  How would you roll out testing for a feature as risky as this?
