I'm kinda of the reverse opinion... Nobody should be able to sell any cars at all unless they can demonstrate decent headway in self-driving research. Car manufacturers should be put on notice that the government expects 10% annual reduction in deaths on the roads every year for the next 20 years. If their car brand doesn't keep up with that, then they're gonna be fined $10M per excess death (for selling a dangerous product). They can achieve that any way they like, but a decently working self driving system is probably the only thing thats gonna let them continue to sell cars a decade from now.
