Same. My shower thought has been, has this affected the implementation timelines of safety features in traditional cars? The general public seems to think we’re going to have self driving cars any day now, but anyone reasonably well informed can probably think of a dozen edge cases they haven’t even begun solving yet. So I wonder, have regulators stalled or stop pushing for new safety features under the false belief that we’re going to have self driving cars any day now, so what’s the hurry? I feel like it has, although admittedly it’s just a feeling and I’ve done no research. Collision avoidance systems are our generations seat belt. It’s still pretty shocking to me this tech isn’t mandated as a safety feature yet considering the very real potential to save lives from distracted driving. Has the pr shit storm all these companies shamelessly capitalize on affected this technology implementation? We generally think of these sorts of lies as harmless and a result of overly ambitious visionaries. But I think in a real way this is the type of thing that could cost lives, in the sense that if regulators understood they are 20-30 years away from mass market, they might actually push for more safety reforms which could save lives.
