  We’re not at all at risk of self-driving cars being neutered forever. It makes more sense to start broadly, restrictively and aggressively regulating at this junction and slowly back it off as tolerated. In the above example with firefighters, it would be simple enough to say “autonomous vehicles must have some way to be overridden and controlled by emergency services in <60s or less”. The specifics can be figured out by the companies. Once we have a better understanding of who is doing it well and how that works well, it can be expanded to a more detailed standard. We don’t need perfect to be the enemy of good, just just need to start regulating and be proactive about modifying it.

    "Starting broadly", it's so over man. We're done. Repealing regulations is doubly harder than instilling them.

  > Regulation will be written in such a way that it will neuter the entire industry unless we have good oversight. We're only in this position because self driving car companies are failing to regulate themselves. It's not that far-fetched for large corporations to come together and participate in self-regulation so the government doesn't have to. Look at the MPAA or really any number of trade organizations out there today. If cruise fucks it up, that's on them and not us. SF is more lax than most cities in allowing this sort of stuff in the first place, but there are no guarantees, especially if people start dying.
