I've said this in the past but instead of the government just allowing auto-updates and what not, the AI needs to pass a driving test. Each version must be certified by some test. No, not the same test a human driver goes through. Something super rigourous that involves semis tipping over, bridges falling from above, babies crawling in the road, dogs, deer, rain, smoke, hail, snow, elephants, downed power lines. Maybe even a 10 year old kid running in front.
Something that all of the companies would go through, administered by the government (not waymo).

- m463 4y agoHonestly, I agree. It's sort of like "tax what you want less of" except with regulation
- andbberger 4y agoexcept that "tax" is paid for with the lives of innocent pedestrians
- bottlepalm 4y agoIf every car had Autopilot right now there would be a massive reduction in deaths. All the bad drivers, texting drivers, drunk drivers, and road rage drivers - given the option to take a break and watch some Netflix. Regardless of how imperfect FSD is, they are much much worse.
- GaylordTuring 4y agoI fully agree. Everyday on my commute I see tons of people who are on their phones, and I’ve stoped counting the amount of unsafe overtakes and tailgating that I experience. I would take all the cars being driven by FSD any day of the week!
- renewiltord 4y agoThe self-driving cars report their disengagements to the DMV. The idea is simple: we don't know in what ways things can fail because this is terra incognita and so we allow certain restrictions and you be honest and we'll review if what you're doing is okay. I think it's a remarkably sensible thing to do.
- JeffL 4y agoEvery version of the software is tested on thousands of situations in simulation before release and has to pass all the regression tests which are constantly being added to. Surely this is much better than a super limited real world test. (It's also tested in the real world by testers before going into wider release.) I think they are way ahead of you.
- speedgoose 4y agoGood news, this kind of test exists to some extent with the euroncap and similar. They do test a child running in front but not an elephant. Also, any deep learning AI is extremely tested because that’s how you build such AI. Tesla and other built complex simulator to test their AIs. I think the standard tests should eventually have more self driving scenarios, but what you wish is not too different than the current situation.
