I get it. I understand that argument and it is a good utilitarian argument. What I'm saying is Tesla has proven they aren't the company to bring about that future. Tesla as an organization has demonstrated a level of corporate sociopathy that tells me they don't take safety seriously as a culture. Surely, they tout safety as a selling point but their actions tell me they are far more interested in getting driverless cars on the street quickly than doing so safely. You can't achieve sweeping victories in safety without intentionality. Tesla may claim that safety is a priority for them, but if that were true they wouldn't lie to their customers about the capabilities of their own products. They wouldn't eschew industry best practices as far has hardware is concerned. They wouldn't beta test unproven software on their customers and charge them for it, leading to bodily harm of their customers and others. They would fully investigate problems as they occur and definitively fix them instead of allowing concerning issues to persist for half a decade now (running into large stationary objects). There are many organizations working on driverless cars, and yet Tesla is the only one that behaves this way. I really hope we as a community have grown past the idea that simply throwing technology into the world will have positive net benefits as long as there are good or good-adjacent intentions behind them. In fact, it takes planning and execution to ensure good outcomes. Simply doing something that can be cast as a boon for safety does not guarantee a boon for safety if safety isn't a top goal. And by top I mean it has to be #1 or #2, because any lower and other priorities eat into it.
