That's why they still are in research and not widely available.

  Why are they conducting experimental research on public roads in densely populated cities?
  • Mashimo 3y ago
    Probably because it's cheap and gives the most feedback.

    Why do we allow human trials of new drugs?

      Consent

        The people surrounding the trial participant didn't give consent, if the drug causes a violent psychosis which in turn causes people to be injured by the participant, how does that differ?

          You are quickly moving the goalposts I see. Have fun with that exercise.

            I don't think I am, I think they are comparable, they are both regulated tests of new technology in real world situations where there is no practical alternative in order to determine if they are fit for purpose.

  that's funny, because when I watched the video I've got the impression it was dangerously roaming around the roads of San Francisco with hundreds of non-consenting people in close proximity
  • Mashimo 3y ago
    Correct. Like I said, they are not wide spread. Only a few cities while remote monitored.

    Don't conflate an advanced state of research with wide availability.

    We allow the barely coherent and error prone monkeys to control multiton vehicles around such roads for far worse reasons such as "I just felt like going for a drive".
