What surprises me is the simple fact that these self "driving" cars are allowed on the road without any federal oversight at all. Meanwhile you could not legally register a Mercedes Benz car that only has ONE wiper blade because it did not meet federal safety requirements. Yet somehow replacing the human in the drivers seat, the most safety critical part of the whole damn car, with a gpu, camera, and junk code is no problem. Even after multiple stories of accidents and deaths caused by them. And another point, touching LCD screens while operating a car is perfectly legal but touching a phone screen isn't. At what point did the system stop caring or was paid to stop caring? Have the tech companies subverted the government and our safety for profit? WTF is going one here?
