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.
